I just looked through RAVE, and there's no mention of the hinges or the bolts at all!

I've always just done them up "tight", hand tight, not swinging off of them, but a nice "thrust" of the ratchet.

it probably equates to about 15~20lb/ft, they're only M8 bolts after all, and the nutsert things in the bulkhead arn't of the highest quality, so much tighter and the threads will strip out of the captive nuts.
