Was this in the haynes manual about the torque settings?

I take it this is the nut at the end of the bolt which actually holds the bar into the mounting bracket as I was going to take it off to get at the air filter and I had heard not to re-use the mounting bracket nuts so this then applies to this solitary nut as well. I take it these are easily available from the stealers?? Anyone have any idea on price of a replacement nut?? couple of quid??

Ps, thanks for that torque setting, was trying to find out myself
