Many thanks :)

Manual calls for 7.2-10.1 lbs-ft which seems way high. Never used t wrench, I just tighten em.

Oddjob:
Modern manuals say 6.5ftlbs for a 6mm screw and 7ftlbs for a flanged 6mm bolt.

JezzaPeach:
I marked mine with a sharpie and tightened them to the same point apart from one that was probably a bit under in the first place. There are stories of over tightening, including due to torque wrench not working properly, and the basket cracking. They don’t need to be very tight, I got an impression when undoing them, maybe mark and then use a very low torque to ‘test’ the mark.
