.....I'm pretty sure I gave you the correct torque specs....

You did, thanks v. much
And thanks to everyone else for helping as well.

Picking the nuts up at lunch time, I'll have this sorted when I get home tomorrow evening. In case anyone it wondering I removed the bars to make accessing the fittings to get to the wiper mechanism easy (to fix the high resting position, which I did successfully) Fortunately it's a weekend use / fun car so no issue to do things like this over several days.

New bolts fitted and torqued down correctly

FWIW, the new bolts felt notably different to tighten up compared to the old ones. You can see from the oval shape and feel it as they're going on why they're supposed to be single use. £8 well spent imo.

Jesus, how daft of me, that's twice I've made that mistake.
At least I did get it right in the post above though.
