60-80 inch lbs. I would use new OEM nuts unless the old ones looked good.

I have seen hardened self locking pinch-nuts in this application. I do not remember now. I know that stainless woven mesh gasket will squash pretty easily. The idea is to get it all lightly fit. Then there is an order that starts after finger tight, 9-18 in lbs for the lower bolt, and then the final torque on the two followed by the remains order for the rest of the system.
