MG MGA - Clutch pressure plate torque?

I'm refitting a new clutch and pressure plate on my mga 1500 engine.....The MGA workshop manual on page general data 3, has two different torque settings...the first is Clutch assembly to flywheel...25 lb. ft......the next is listed, Clutch to flywheel bolts....35 to 40 lb. ft......am I missing something here....which is correct for the 6 pressure plate bolts....thanks for your help,
Mike

There are torque charts that can be used to determine what a bolt can be torqued to. Many times a repair manual is not clear or complete. This one from a Chiltons repair manual.
