Tension bolt question

I have a 83+ 12a which only has 17 tension bolts and can't find the torque sequence, I have searched and looked in all my manuals and everything I find is for 18 tension bolts, hoping someone can tell me the torque sequence.

I recently had the same issue, the general consensus was to pretend the missing bolt was there and keep the rest of the sequence in order. I numbered the bolts to help keep things straight and actually put the number on the housing (where the bolt would have been) so I would not get messed up!
