Tom,
I strongly urge you to avoid using LOC-TITE in this application. Thread locking compound may cause the captivating portion of the cage nuts to break when someone tries to loosen them again. The nuts will just spin as the bolt head is being turned. All of a sudden a one man job becomes a two man job. Simply use new lockwashers under the bolt heads.
Torque values can be mis-leading when dealing with old grungey threads. Somewhere in the 40-60 ft.lbs range seems reasonable.
Tom
P.S. Now that the body is broken loose, it should be easy to make fine adjustments with a big heavy drift pin.
P.P.S. I see Stephen found the printed torque values. Use his and ignore mine.
