Shock link installation

[Steve_Mack_CT]

Guys how tight do you go when installing original type shock links? Had a great 15 or 20 mile shakedown run Sunday, after a front end rebuild. I did lose a shock link.. I suspect it seated ok, but was just too loose. Do you crank to a lot of resistance? Or do you think maybe it wasn't seated right? I thought I checked it but maybe I missed that side..

Any tricks here other than pack, position the little brass seats, slip on and tighten?

Thanks!
