The manual says

Fit the front brake discs and tighten the pins to the specified torque.
FRONT BRAKE DISC.
M8
1.2 daNm

Fit the brake caliper bracket on the disc and tighten the two fixing bolts to torque.
??? daNm

Tighten the bolts that secure the calipers to the brackets to torque.
FRONT BRAKE CALIPER ASSEMBLY
M10 x 1.25 (M12 x 1.25 for Multijet)
5.7 daNm (10.5 daNm for Multijet)

It doesn't say the brake caliper bracket bolts torque!

I have a Multijet by the way

Tighten them as tight as you can ? From doing the job I recall it's quite a workout !
 
It's not so bad with a long wrench. With a short one it's hell and you can actually break a bolt or two.
Damn I wish I knew what value to use on my torque wrench for the two brackets

There can't be too many more Panda MJs being pampered in Rep of Ireland other than ours right now ! I ordered a 150(plus 12 euro postage) suspension set ( radius arms , track rod ends and drop links ) from a company in Navan on adverts.ie .

Same parts for petrol and diesel , no wonder they wear fast)

I remember seeing only one or two MJs in entire first year or two I had mine .There seem to be a few more around lately .A couple months ago I even saw a "Sporting" in the midlands , presumably imported from UK .( like my basic red MJ)
 
In the end I did

brake disc wherever my arm would get with a normal wrench (no torque wrench)
brake bracket 90 nm
brake caliper 20 nm I broke one in the process, they are delicate or just unlucky?
wheels 90 nm

I sprayed only wd40 on brackets and calipers!
Of course not on the discs :D
