1 foot pound-force = 1.355818 newton metre

1 foot pound is a mass of 1lb applied at a distance of 1 foot from the 
point of rotation.
1 Newton metre is a weight* of 1 newton applied at one metre from the 
point of rotation
A mass of 1kg will exert a downward force of 9.81 Newtons at sea-level - 
ie the accellaration due to gravity in metres-per-second-per-second

You guys need to drive in Ireland where speed limits are in MPH but 
distances in km.

* Note the difference in definition between weight and mass.
