Does anybody know where I can find a table of recommended torque values for screw assemblies in plastic? I had one at one time but lost it after a computer burnout. My specific application is an ABS cabinet where I'm assembling various metal and plastic components to it. I have calculated some values but would like a "second opinion" to see if my ballpark is big enough. Thanks - Dave
