Default Torque values coil/ignition relocation

Does anybody here know to what extend to torque they bolts on the front of the cylinder that hold the coil/ignition relocation bracket? I can't find it anywhere in the manual.

Thanks

Torque settings are there to prevent people over tightening but I wouldn't get to worried about it as its not a working/moving component. It's on the engine so nip it up tight and just use some thread lock.
