Torque for front strut bolts

I have just ordered a set of front struts for my 1992 500E, part no. A124 320 4330. I also ordered the mounting kit part no A124 990 0099. Now the question is what is the right torque for the bolts in this mounting kit? Haven't received the kit and struts yet, but I guess the bolts would be 10 or 12 mm.

Early cars will have an M12 pinch bolt and lower torque spec. Check the VIN break, and also the size of the bolts removed.
