Torque spec for brake caliper caliper to caliper.

I'm going to be powder coating my Spirit R calipers. In shipping they got brake fluid all over them and now need to be fixed. Does anyone know how much torque I need to put them back together an not leak?

There are no torque specs for these in the FSM as they're not supposed to be removed. If you haven't split them yet, I'd suggest powdercoating them in one piece as the seals between the halves must be designed to take the heat.

If you've already split them, look up the bolt type. IIRC they're an m8 and I'd guess grade 10.9? You should be able to find the torque specs for the bolt type online, just be careful not to over tighten them as they're threaded into aluminium.
