Torque Specs. Needed - Rear Tow Hooks & Gas Tank Straps

I see the diagram in the FSM for the gas tank straps, but they don't show the torque specs. Also if anyone knows this one, I would need the specs for the 5 bolts that hold the rear tow hooks.

Thanks!

I don't wanna sound like an ***.but really the Tow hooks bolt Torque specs?..just tighten them enough so they don't snap the bolts and be done.
Afterall are you gonna use these tow hooks ALL the time.NO..just to secure the car when towing
.Also.tighten the gas tank strap bolts up so the tank doesn't fall down..done..

really man? those are the last two things that a precise torque rating is needed for. just tighten them without overstressing the bolt.

Will do.... I just have a habit of having everything in spec and usually things such as tow hooks get torqued to a certain spec, it's odd the FSM doesn't list one.

meh, i dont know if you wrench for a living, but even most of the bolts on ferraris dont have torque specs. really best thing you can do is to look at the bolt and see what size it is. most of the smaller bolts are 6mm, which you wouldent tighten too much. 8mm, again, small=not alot of torque, a little more than snug. 10mm, probably has a torque spec, but after that, 12 and 14, crank those mother *******. unless you are dealing with areas that are sensitive to torque specs: ie engine parts, brake parts, ect....i always just make sure they are tight.
thats just me, im probably doing it wrong, but i have yet to really **** anything up doing it that way.
