torque on pressure plate bolts - 300U

So, was waiting for the new throwout bearing for my tractor before I started the clutch disk replacement. I pulled the starter to clean it up and repaint it. Looking inside I could see that the pressure plate was new. Like brand new. Now even I am not cheap enough to replace the pressure plate and not the clutch disk, so I figure I had better investigate.

When I pulled the clutch inspection cover, out fell 6 bolts. Checking inside, it's pretty obvious that they are the bolts that hold the pressure plate to the flywheel. With very little work I have them back in, but I don't want this to happen again.

So what is the proper torque for those bolts, so they don't fall out? It's a 10.5 in Rockford clutch, on a 300U with a C169 engine.
 
If they are the half inch bolts then i would say around fifty - sixty ft. lbs ,,Myself i have never torqued them i just make sure they are tight and i have one wrench that i use for this and it is a Mac long 3/4 flex wrench . And when my wrist pops they are tight.
