2000 fork question

Big Wheel
I got a fork seal leak and put emulators in when I had it apart. When I got the bike I cut the springs when I flushed the forks and changed the oil and it made a big difference and I'm hoping the emulators make it even better.

I'm putting it back together and don't have the torque values for the pinch bolts, axle, etc.

Could someone help me out?

Thanks

Thanks for the quick replies. I finished it up last night and rode today. The emulators were a big improvement. My set up is about 4 1/2" cut off the springs, emulators with 4 bleed holes and blue springs at 2 turns of preload with 15w oil at 150mm. Very happy with the lack of brake dive and response to square edged bumps. It doesn't seem as plush on little stuff like expansion joints, although that could be my imagination. What would be the fix for that?

Thanks again for the help.
