torque settings firewall braces?

Anyone know the correct torque settings for the bolts of the firewall braces?

I can't find the TIS which would give this, but from memory, it's in the order of 34Nm.

I have 41Nm written down but can't remember the source.

The 3 nuts on the top of the strut are 34Nm

and its 41nm.....

34nm is for the tower top nuts ( i do these to 30nm as they have a tendency to snap.)

Do the strut braces make any difference?

On my roadster it made a small difference…a little less body flex a little sharper turn in.
