Regarding bolt torques, I have a Caterpillar guide/manual that has the torque values listed per bolt size which was a good reference.

How do I secure this access panel

You’ve lost the latching mechanism. You can see where the latch was until recently.

Do an internet search for Onan 7.5 access panel and you will find what you need.
