New aluminium clutch cover: how much torque?
Just got a aluminium clutch cover and I'm not sure how tight to nip up the bolts. The torque recommendation in Haynes for the plastic cover is 10nm. Should I just use the same?

As the originals plastic then you probably can go higher, but I'd start at 10 and see if it leaks, if it doesn't then leave it

I think the recommended torque for M6 bolts is 10Nm. The plastic covers have metal sleeves under the bolts, I believe.

Cheers guys. Nipped them up to about 10nm and seems to have done the trick so I'll leave it at that.
