I need the torque spec for the tilt lock pressure sensor. I have already broken one due to over-tightening :>( and don't want to break another. Appreciate any help provided.

You will need to check the service manuals. I tried searching for it but its not readily apparent which subsystem the manuals associate it with.

What you might do is just tighten it to hand tight plus just a little extra with some lock-tight compound so it doesn't loosen.

From what I can find in the Service Guide I believe the following addresses the tilt lock pressure sensor: Pressure switch to distribution frame 18 ÷ 20 Nm. Can anybody verify this is the correct torque?
TIA

My workshop manual says yes:
Pressure switch to the distributor 18 - 20 Nm (13 -15 lb*ft)
