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

Don, et al,

Yikes! If I remember correctly, these are AN bolts 7/16-20 that have a torque range of at least 38-42 FOOT POUNDS.  If they are 1/2-20 the range is 40-57.5 FOOT POUNDS.

Check the bolt size and an appropriate torque chart when these are tightened down.

PS: the best washers are those cut off of the old mounts - just the right diameter.
