I think I am ready to locktite and tq the driveshaft in.
I am looking for the link to the revised torque on the bolts.
I must have deleted the email.
thanks,

My chart from the build school says 70-95 lbft but it's from 2013.

I was thinking I got an email with revised torque values, just recently.

I received an email and updated instructions for my Coupe 2015+ IRS. Reasonable to assume the Roadster is the same. Shows the driveshaft adapter to the pinion flange is 41 ft-lbs. And driveshaft to driveshaft adapter is 70 ft-lbs. This is a reduction from the original instructions that were 80 ft-lbs. Loctite is only shown on the adapter to pinion flange. But I'd use blue on both.

I got the letter along with a package of 4 bolts about 3 weeks ago. It said to use the new longer bolts.
The bolts they sent were shorter than the ones that came with the kit. I threw the shorter bolts in my bag of "not needed" parts.

Thanks guys. Edwardb, that is what I am looking for. Thanks for the info and advise. I was considering red loctite, but think blue will do the job.
