You'd have to be pretty ham-fisted to shear off an M8 bolt or strip the threads in the nut inserts.

Just do them up 'tight' - it's only a door hinge!

Do what you will

Apply a bit of common sense you mean? Steve.

2015 Defender 90 Puma 2.2 XS CSW Santorini Black

Couldn't agree more me with Retroanaconda. It's only a door hinge. I served a five year apprenticeship with one of the biggest Land Rover distributors in the UK working on Series One, II, IIa and 101's. The only time we used a torque wrench was for cylinder head bolts, big end bolts and flywheel bolts. The rest of the time it was down to good old common sense. If you stripped a M8 bolt (or 3/8th in the good old days) you'd had one too many weetabix for your brekkie.
