Brians hilarious cartoon notwithstanding - I'll keep entries open for while longer: just for fun of course.

Full answer later on - If I don't fall asleep.

The correct torque required would depend on if the bolt was used, condition of the threads, if any lubrication was used and also the grade of bolt.

There's also a couple of useful calculations in there to determine how to adjust the torque figures to allow for lubrication and different coatings on bolts.

Bottom line is unless new/very clean correct grade bolts are used with the correct threadlock (if needed) then although the manufactures recommended torque figures are applied then the chances are it won't be 100% accurately torqued anyway

Yes, when Brian resorts to schoolboy comic humour you can be sure he's lost the argument.

He's just not mature enough to admit it.

I wonder how accurate your answer will actually be after THIS news today

Oh, it's guaranteed 100% accurate alright.

Last chance for entries....

Just as accurate 1kg remains 1kg albeit a more accurately measured 1kg - in fact this can only improve the accuracy of the answer.

And the prize goes to....

CLF - Being the only entrant doesn't disbar you from winning!

Quite correct the answeris 5Nm (rounded to the nearest Nm

).

Although I had to seriously resist giving the answer as zero....

.... Due to the support midway along the bar - which doesn't exist in this version of the finale.

Congratulations to CLF

To clear up any mis-understanding - I have no argument (or competition) with Brian. And take no side in your mutual disagreements.
