Jim, - I agree with Nigel, I would not have called those the Fulcrum Pins, but then I am also in the UK.
But, now we agree what we are talking about....
The pin part itself is shouldered so that you cannot over compress the rubber bushes by overtightening. The nut needs to be tightened until the large washers contact that pin shoulder. The nyloc nuts are a good idea so that they don't work loose.
The large washers also have a step in the outer edge which must fit snugly into the hole in the chassis brackets, otherwise your suspension geometry will be out.

Not with you on this one.
The fulcrum pin is the threaded pin that screws into the narrow end of the A
frame (Wishbone) through the stubaxle kingpin. There is no nut holding it in
place, and no there isn't a torque limit for it.
Do you mean the inner wishbone pivot pin? This holds the arms of the A frame
(wishbone) to the car and these do have a nyloc nut, but I'm not sure if there
is a torque setting for them, I didn't torque them up on mine.
Otherwise I'm at a loss to understand what you're referring to.
