Spark Plug Torque Setting?

Postby Doc Fizzix » Sat 18.11.2006, 07:13

I know this is a stupid question for a guy that has owned two Elans but I can not find the torque setting for the spark plugs anywhere. :?

What is the correct torque setting?


Thanks

JPS M100 was built from bare chassis up to create one off M100 in the mould of JPS Team Lotus
