M8 - 12.9 - 42 Nm (30 ftlb)

Is this accurate?

I wonder where I can find some Schnorr washers locally.
The moon plate was not stock, so you have to do a stack up and measure. Measure the flange, then the CV/dustboot, moonplate stack up, add up the totals and there ya go. I get my bolts from Belmetric and I use Nordlock NLX washer system.
Use an accurate torque wrench on the 8mm bolts, 30 lbft is danger close to the engineering design limit.
