This looks like a very useful book (edited by Jake Raby, the "Baz Hart" of the US) as it shows all the types of nuts, bolts, screws and other fasteners with diagrams on all 996s (there is one for 997s too) - the 996 forum on Rennlist seem to like it:
"Fastener size, grade, assembly position and tightening torque. Lacking this publication, most technicians find themselves looking through pages of workshop manuals to search for fastener torque values that are well hidden; at times they cannot be found at all. This publication makes these fastener torque values quick and easy to find. This book, a reference handbook for the technician, or enthusiast proficient in Porsche repairs, presents illustrations of Porsche 996 subassemblies and their fastener torque values. This directive covers the entire vehicle, including all engines, and transaxles, suspension and sub- assemblies. The format of this book can save the user valuable time on almost every 996 repair task, as each assembly, and sub- assembly is referenced with illustrated parts breakdowns, with each fastener identified, and torque values specified."
It only seems to be available in the US for $60+$34 shipping (c£70) http://www.theknowledgegruppe.com/index.php/product/996-torque-book-fastening-specifications-for-porsche-911-type-996-automobile/[/img]
Anybody bought one/seen it?
