Torque value - engine cover

Hi all, my 2020 RT is getting crud thrown onto the front engine cover, the engine fairing and the extended mud guard still dont do it!! I have knocked up a protection plate which will use the two bottom bolts on the engine cover to hold it. Does anyone have a torque figure for these bolts?

Something like this crud catcher would also help to protect the exhaust header balance pipe.

Looks good David.... I was thinking of the balance pipe as well, too cold just now out in the garage so just knocked up a quick plate......, I feel a Mark II version coming on  :alas:  better get my CAD skills warmed up (Cardboard Aided Design)
