MG MGA - Steel wheel nut (lug) torque setting

Hello,
What is the recommended torque setting for steel wheel (lug) nuts? I have looked in my owners manual and handbook and cannot find any settings. I searched the archive but couldn't spot anything definitive - apologies if I have missed it. Many thanks for any advice.

Many thanks Steve.
Could you tell me what search terms you used please? I found few obvious thread titles when I used 'wheel nut torque' (all terms). Quite a number of the threads seemed to relate to the hub nut torque settings.
Cheers.

I simply searched 'steering wheel nut' include all words.

Thanks Steve,
It was the torque setting for the road wheel nuts I was looking for.
