Carb flange torque setting

I'm replacing the carb flang on an 18oo vw running a pierburg 2e2 card but the haynes manual does not specify a torque setting for the flange. For smaller vw this is the same as the carburettor.
Does anybody know how tight these bolt need to go?

Tight but not stupid tight. A bit more than "nipped up"

That sounds very precise. Would that be comparable tightness to the carb bolts?

I see you are on the MK1 golf forum as well...
Same question on there...
Tight enough so they don't rattle lose.

Yep, the mk1 golf is in pieces. The scirocco is the daily driver...except this weekend. I'm replacing the exhaust manifold gascket and thought I would chuck a new carb flange while I'm at it.
