I am about to torque the engine mount bolts that run thru the Barry
vibration donuts. Standard torque for a 1/2" -20 bolt is 480-690 inch
pounds. Can someone confirm that to convert inch pounds to foot pounds you
simply divide by 12? I get 40-57 foot lbs.
Thanks,
Jim

You figured it out!
Torque is measured as the PRODUCT of Distance (inches) X Force applied
(Inches or Pounds of pressure), indeed, there are 12 inches per pound, so
your correct that by DEVIDING the POUNDS in that equation by 12, you get
FEET, thus the product becomes FOOT -POUNDS.
In the metric system they use Meters X Kilograms. which I believe they call
NEWTONS.
