Thanks David, I'll go through the assortment and I'm sure I can find a 7 year old grandchild in the mix somewhere! LOL My Thinking is, that if a castellated nut is the designed method of holding the nut from loosening too much, then the torque spec can't be that critical as the 'from-to' on one castellation is quite liberal. I will follow your advice and 'chase them' after a few miles to see if they have lost any tension.
Now comes the next query: is there a preferred grade of brake fluid for these systems? What I have been putting in the car I believe was DOT 3. I recall someone mentioning DOT5 in another post on a separate brake discussion, but can't recall the ultimate correct answer. Chris.
