Rear cross member info please

The car I am getting (74) apparently needs a couple of rear suspension bushes replaced before it will pass RWC/MOT. Looking for info on the cross member I find there is no mention of bolt torques for this part to the base, or the front bushes of the trailing arms - only the top and bottom link bolts get mentioned at 55 lb/ft.
Does anybody have any relevant info please, or should I go with the same torque on all the big bush bolts?
thanks

Over a long career working on them daily, as far as I remember I only ever torqued up wheel nuts and cylinder head bolts, and I never had anything break or fall off......
 
Front and rear bushes on the trialing arm are 54lb/ft, but don't torque them until the car is on the ground, in its normal unladen position.
 
Ok, will go with the 54 lb/ft on the big bolts, and use the above for others, as long as I can assess the bolt rating.
thanks
