Torque Spec for Gearbox Bolts

[The Hairy Camper]

I know i need to buy a Haynes manual, but does anyone know the torque spec for the bolts holding the gearbox to the engine? If they have one.

Cheers.

Can you still pick up Bentley books for a T3 easily enough?

Can't believe it! When I was looking for one over ten years ago they were rare as rocking horse poo.
Plenty on Google but I guess due diligence is needed to be sure to get the real deal. My search just turned up JK but if you shop around for a better price make sure you get the right one.
