Default 4 Pot securing bolt torque?

Simple enough one this, Subaru embossed 4 pots, on a 1999 RB5, what torque are the 2 17mm retaining bolts that hold the caliper to the strut please? I've searched everywhere!

Hi Mate. The best person to ask is Ian Godney. Send him a PM.

I'd read 80nm in a few places, but it wasn't clear what brakes they were referring to. sounds about right for the size, will PM Mr. Godney and check.

Cheers guys.
