Scott,
      Regardless of the bolt size, it is "rubber" mount you are torquing, 
not the bolt, whether Lords or others.  Check with the mfgr and you might 
be surprised at the recommended value, although I don't believe 15 INCH 
POUNDS is critical, it certainly ain't FOOT lbs...  Regards..  Don Skeele
