Eccentric bolts
John Saxby:
150 inch-pounds of torque worked for my Raven's bolts.
Coaster:
Thank you all. Now the drain plug has fallen out of the Rohloff and disappeared!

Hi John
I think that works out at just under 17 nm.
They definitely are not going to come loose!

I save all my old drain plugs when doing the oil changes for occasions like this.
When doing the oil changes I place the bike workshop stand on an old blanket so if I drop the plug it doesn't bounce high off the concrete floor and disappear.
I am sure that Thorn will sell you a couple of new ones for five quid or so!

If you are concerned about losing an eccentric bolt, I was too, keep one in my spares for touring. I bought a spare one from SJS when I was buying some other stuff. And I have a couple spare Rohloff oil plugs too. Occasionally when working on my bike on my patio, something falls and rolls to where it falls between the grooves between the concrete blocks. A few spares of everything are useful for that work area.
