Seatbelt mount torque?

Hi,
what's the torque on the big torx bolts for the seatbelt mechanism at the bottom and the top seatbelt mount? I went with 25 for now.
Thanks.

ya i agree, i wouldn't be all that worried, but if you really want a number i'd say 45 is plenty.

I didn't know there was a torque spec on them. JK...I didn't think to worry about it. Tight as hell bro. I pulled them out with a huge breaker bar so I figured putting them in until they are good and snug would be just fine. Course, I haven't tested them
