That's what typhoon gave in the first post. I just torqued mine to that and nothing broke.
I just spent a year torquing electrical connections, 70 ft lbs was on the high end of anything we torqued and we used a 1/2” drive torque ratchet to do it. I have an irrational fear of over torquing something and stripping something out or snapping it off. Then again, my job depended on it.

Well....since I got a new phone and it doesn't have a removable memory card, I can't look in my fomoco manual....and that's where it is I'm sure. I scoured all over for an answer with no luck! Its a Nylock nut also i do believe, so if you torque it to 50 ft lbs it won't go anywhere.

That's perfect, I took a guess and torqued it to 50 ft lbs before you answered. Great minds think alike . . . :ROFLMAO:

I have all 3 Vibra mounts and torqued them per the torque specs posted in the DIY on them and haven't had an issue with them since. I would torque them, put some miles on them and re-check with a torque wrench again just for piece of mind. I also torqued the nylock nut that comes with the new passenger side mount to 50 ft lb.
