I actually looked up every torque value, wrote it down, and marked each bolt/nut with a Sharpie to make sure I had tightened them all... new locking nuts too. Maybe I need a new torque wrench, lol.

As far as mystery hardware goes ... I use Ziplock bags. I took most of my Spitfire apart about 6 years ago for restoration and I'm slowly re-assembling it. I have a couple hundred Ziplock bags all labeled with what the hardware is inside and where it goes. Probably overkill for one or two day duration DIY jobs.
