I did not check the chart for errors but if those numbers are good, yes you can use it. Haa! how helpful was that.
Yes I did use a torque wrench. If you need to buy one look for one with a 1/4 inch drive that will work at the tiny torque these tiny bolts we use need. And preferably marked in in/lbs. Now to really muddy the waters, and I may be wrong, but when bolts go through wood like we are doing we take the torque specs with a grain of salt. What I do is try to meet the torque spec but stop if the wood shows a hint of crushing( the washer against wood, or bracket against wood, will begin to sink in a little).
OK I just looked it up for you in AC 43.13
10-32 bolt (same as an3) 20-25 inch pounds when using "normal nuts" and 12-15 inch pound if using the low profile sheer nuts.
1/4-28 50-70 inch pounds or 30-40 using sheer nuts
