1.5 Nm, that's a useful figure to start with, thanks :) I know there'll be huge variability...

I thought about that, but figured it would be hard to account for friction. If I'm going to measure, I'll probably take some (known rate) spring and see how far I can compress that by hand with the wing nut.

Hi, Does anyone have any data about what sort of clamping force can realistically be expected from a hand-torqued wing nut? There is obviously no precise number possible, due to the huge differences in strength, etc. But I'm wondering if there are any ball-park figures available. Alex

Right, that'll teach me posting late at night when I'm half falling asleep already, I was a bit unclear... I'm not looking for anyone to do my sums. What I'm looking for is pointers to information about the kind of shock loads and frequencies that I can expect for this kind of bracket. Further...

I'd like to relocate the spare wheel on my 4x4 RV (an Unimog) and have to make a new bracket for it. As the spare wheel is in the order of 120 kg and we'll be driving it across rough terain shock loads will be a lot higher than on a normal car with a normal spare wheel... What would be a...
