Default Ness Big Sucker Torque Values

Anybody save the instructions that came with their Ness BS? I need to remove and reinstall mine, but I've misplaced the sheet with the torque values for the breather bolts and mount bolts.

10-12 ft-lb for the breather bolts. Use pipe dope or teflon tape.
36-60 in-lb for the backing plate studs and filter screws. Use blue loctite.
