Torque for brake bracket and calipers?

make sure they are really frickin tight, I never did find out what the torque specs for them.... but I did learn what 'not tight enough' was
 
do i torque these and if so to what? or just make sure their tight.


Here's what the Ford manual says:

Front:
Brake caliper bolts - 28 Nm / 21 lb-ft
Brake caliper anchor plate bolts - 120 Nm / 89 lb-ft

Rear:
Anchor plate bolts - 120 Nm / 89 lb-ft
Caliper slide pin bolts - 41 Nm / 30 lb-ft
