Hi Mike,
The Akiva torque has been specified before on the site. I find searching google works well so long as you specify the wedsite at the end, so something like:
akiva torque nm site:www.lejonklou.com
torque "trampolin 2" nm site:www.lejonklou.com
Regards,

Hi Mike!
There are a bunch of torque threads on this forum, so it can take a while to search through them in the search of a specific fastener.
I find that the Akiva should be tightened with a little less than 1 Nm to the headshell. I never tighten the trampolin with a torque tool, because it's metal screws going into wood. This makes the procedure very inexact. On a new plinth, the screws can be tight in the wooden holes, while on an older plinth that has been serviced many times, the holes are worn and the screws rather loose. This difference makes it difficult to come up with an optimal torque.
