Sorry for the deluge of questions. While experience may be the best teacher, it can sometimes be a bit painful. Far better to glean as much hard earned experience on the forum than learning the hard way while I finish assembling my MK II after the gearbox rebuild. I'm not new to motorcycle repair and maintenance (including "Limey bikes") but this is my first attempt with a Norton Commando
Since the front studs are cushioned with rubber and nylock nuts are employed, would it be appropriate to use reduced torque to avoid cracking the base of the tank where the studs screw into it? Perhaps similar to the rubber bobbins on the head steady. (12 ft#)
