I don't have any numbers for you but AFTER you tighten the belt,
THEN tighten the pivot bolts. Reason: The generator endplates are softer
than the bolt (aluminum or cast arn) and will wear to an elongated shape.
I have had the problem on 122s and have had to have a couple of generator
endplates rewelded and redrilled. Those that haven't got bad enough to require
that have required bushings.
