Front strut nut torque spec?

Due to some unpleasantness I am no longer in possession of my sprinter manual. I'm replacing my front struts today and I am wondering what the torque spec on the front strut nut is? Seems pretty trivial probably just nice and tight but I'd really like to know for sure.

You can download the full 2003 and 2006 service manual from http://aie-services-2.net/Sprinter/
(40 megabytes each)

2006 says:
INSTALLATION
NOTE: Hand tighten the strut upper mounting nut until the vehicle is on the ground, otherwise the bushings may become distorted.
(1) Install strut to the steering knuckle (Fig. 12). Tighten to 185 N·m (136 ft. lbs.).
(2) Raise the lower control to install the upper part of the strut into the footwell.
Tighten to 100 N·m (74 ft. lbs.).
(3) Install wheels (Refer to 22 - TIRES/WHEELS/WHEELS - INSTALLATION).
(4) Lower the vehicle.
(5) Install the nut covers (Fig. 12).
(6) Refit the floor covering and the tool cover.
