I see you've been to the jag lover site.

The bolts is tight.

I just can't see why the formula's I found on the net perpetuate using the length of the torque wrench in the formula when it has no real bearing on the applied torque except to make it easer to apply the torque.

In other words, once I calculate for the extension, it shouldn't matter how long my torque wrench is. Or for that matter if I haven't got a torque wrench how do I figure the force needed to be applied to the end of the extension to acheive the correct setting?


So maybe I'll use a beam torque wrench or maybe a dial torque wrench or maybe a wieght on the end of a 3 ft bar. But in order to determine how much weight to put at the end of the bar I need to know how much torque correction for the extension, anybody have that formula?
