Getting back on track with re-assembly

Slowly. I wore out my last nozzle for my sandblaster, so I had to wait for a new one to get here, then it took a week and a half to get those 10 front X-member nuts re-copper plated, but now it's happening. Except I seem to have misplaced my torque chart for all the various fasteners. Anyone know where a guy can get another copy of that?
I wanted to have my front end all put back together this weekend, but I don't think I'll get it all done.

Here's some progress pics:

Sandblasted fasteners:


I used the Caswell Black Oxide stuff on them:



I'm glad I got these re-plated. I really like the little splash of color:





Slowly but surely.

Re: Getting back on track with re-assembly

They were there when I took it apart. Is that unusual?

Yes those spacers. Mine just had alot of alignment shims. I wasn't for sure if those were original or where to get them.
