Default Question about coil relocation

So I like this set up but my main concern is the bolts that hold down the bracket? Do these needs to be re torqued? I'm enjoying taking my bike apart but, I'm trying to stay away from anything that actually has some kind of torque value for now .

Nothing you've done so far needs to be torqued. Just tighten it and maybe use locktite.

Heres another question, I didn't want to create another thread..what kind of bracket should I use to mount this coil? can I use an aluminum bracket? (it would be easier for me to cut and bend) should I be worried about the head? or just stick with steel?
