Ed-
That pic is of MY Therm setup (albeit an old pic) not Tim's.
And yes, I do have the spacer installed.

I'll have to see if I can come up with a different setup that fits. In the mean time I cleaned the studs, added a little oil, and tightened the nuts down with my best guesstimate of 25 fp -- which is about as tight as I can get it with my little 6" rachet wrench.

Tim-
There IS actually a scientific procedure for figuring out torque values if you don't have a torque wrench. It's explained
here
Neil may be along later with drawings or pics of his own to better explain...
