Sorry don't know the torque; Just did them up tight. 60nm should be enough.
I'd move all the spacing washers to the front to give max' castor and aid self centering at IVA.
The crush tube has a tendancy to corrode and the rocker sieze. As a result it's also worth drilling and tapping the pivot tube to take a grease nipple.

I keep a copy of this sheet in my garage as a guide for torque values.
