Thanks everyone for the great advice as always. Odd isn't it that tightening up a bolt or nut can 'feel' wrong even though a torque setting has not apparently yet been reached.

Just loosened the pinch bolts back off, used a conventional allen key as tight as I can manage, then a short 3/8" drive ratchet and allen key socket. Feels about as tight as I am comfortable with, will check tomorrow.
