Will soon be installing the full river raider skid system in aluminum and I see the instructions call for mounting the oil skid to the engine motor mounts. Does anyone know what the proper torque numbers are when tightening them back up? Much appreciated.

in the write-up section there is a zip file you can download with all the torque specs.

I had to weld tabs to the nuts (or buy some with tabs on them) going inside the frame rails... Makes it easy to tighten them and remove them. Saves a couple hours for maladroits like myself in trying to fish a wrench in to hold them. Also, stainless bolts to aluminium to steel makes for an almost impossible removal if you need to get to anything under the skids. I used anti sieze last time.
