Torque wrench question
Hello all,
I've got a question about converting foot lbs. to in. lbs.
When I use my Beam type Torque wrench the settings are for foot lbs. But I'm checking my service manual for torque values to put my primary cover on and it's giving Inch lbs. which obviously is less tight than tightening down brake, axle bolts etc. Is there a rule of thumb to estimate an Inch lb. to a ft. lb.?
I've tried a fancy dial type one before but a low settings, I could never feel the "give" or any click which is why I only have the Beam style.
