Just to update, I can't find my old note book and can't remember who gave me that suggested torque setting. I have looked through the workshop manuals I have and no torque settings are stated and that's as I remember it. Arwyn is probably your best bet here to give the most definitive answer whatever that might be, I would definitely go with his advise if you want a good opinion as he knows Morgan's inside out! I'm sure he'd be happy if you PM him.

Never see a torque figure for the top oiler bolts, I've always done them up spanner tight and then just a bit more, but but not much more lest they shear off due to the 3mm hole down the middle.
Had a local 4/4 in for a kingpin change with both oiler bolts sheared and had been sheared for some time and owner was a bit surprised when I told him.
A watch point for fitting the top bolts is that it's too easy to get them cross threaded into the kingpin so you need some sort of lining up rod - mines an old screwdriver
Crosshead braces date back to the three wheeler days, Clarrie Coombes covers it in his book on three wheelers.
Personally, I make up my own braces to make sure they fit properly. Rubbing on the sidewall of the tyre is not a good idea. I also use -3 tubing with a clear plastic coating make up my brake hoses to prevent rubbing - I think Compbrake sell it
