Nut/bolt torque figures
I found this on the Land Rover forum
Might be worthwhile printing it out and hanging on the wall

Although Landie owners often are targeted for some good natured ribbing for all the perceived shortcomings of their steeds, in my experience small fasteners in old LandRovers can be far superior to those in Japanese motorcycles for instance. They all seemed to be high tensile and excellent quality, perhaps the factory allowed for frequent dismantling and rebuilding.
Those figures may prove a bit much for lower quality fasteners, I'm not saying that they are, but if you only use grade 5in imperial or 8.8 in metric (or better) they should be fine.

BSF
The main problem I have is there are many BSF and some BA threads on older Land Rovers . I do have a few BSF taps , but I'm always looking for more .
Ah yes the jokes come along .... There is only one fuse , it does everything, lights , the lot . The C39 generators are ubiquitous , seen in just about all pommie cars of that time. The joys of aluminium panels .... the quirky F head motors .
BTW Ive visited a guy who makes new body tubs , he uses simple wooden formers and a simple folder and the results are fantastic . He spot welds the panels together . The trick is to use a normal spot welder and make a steel sandwich between the aluminium panels, works like a charm , perfect spot welds in aluminium eg , the sandwich is made up of : a piece of steel - the two al. panels - a piece of steel , all sandwiched between the electrodes

I've only worked on about 3 or 4, but found it was the only vehicle that I had to have AF, Whitworth and Metric tools.
Don't know if someone butchered the other bolts and nuts or lost them.

Torque figures
For some of the nuts and bolts supplied by Large hardware stores copious quantities of Blu-Tack should fix any problems.

YES

Yes he was on Geelong road , Melbourne . He made 80"tubs . I took lots of pics while I was there at his house .
If you see how simple it is to make a new tub, you will make one yourself . A option, rather than spot welding, is to use a modern adhesive to hold the panels together
The front wing outer sections are the most difficult to make. A chap in Yorkshire makes them , but the weak dollar makes things hard for us
