Secondary shaft nut         - 60 Nm (44 ft.lbs)
Clutch hub nut            - 108-160 Nm (80-118 ft.lbs)
Clutch Spring Bolt`s         - ??? 
Oil Pan screws            - 6-9 Nm (5-7 ft.lbs)

Somebody know how many Nm I should apply on the Clutch Spring Bolt`s  ?
Is their some bolts/nuts I have forgotten?

I can apply the same Nm on nut for secondary shaft on both side of the motor?

Hope I can the last package during tody so I can complete these during the weekend...

Driller off the head on the nails today, should I just keep the rest of the nail and then weld between the rest and the plate?

Use something to push the plate completly down before welding, their are 3 springs pushing against?

the red frition plate is broken, I don’t need a new one?

You drilled off more of the rivet than might be ideal.  The rivets on my hub were flush after clamping everything down for the welder.

The red gasket thing isn't needed, from what I've read from others doing this repair.

Ah, okay. Did you grind the surface of the plate where you’re going to weld? Is it to ensure a better weld?

The welder ask if it’s normal black steel?

This is why I suggested "grind" not "drill" but if your welder is on his "A" game you should be OK
