Hayes manual or VX Corsa handbook should have the torque settings in.

I got a Draper 3001A through an ebay seller but it came direct from Draper. £20 + £6 p&p, £37RRP

just to add a wee point here , ALWAYS mark oyur hubs before you remove an alloy wheel ,,,, what i mean is ,,, use tipex on the hub , aligned with yer tyre valve ,,, believe me ,,, it saves balancing problems later
