Yah, it definitely isn't clear, so to summarize:
Two bolts connect the knuckle to the strut. The lower bolt/hole is 14mm and the upper bolt/hole is 16mm. (No slop or adjustment) Not every camber bolt kit description specifies which size it is, but the instructions should tell you which hole to use, so that would let you know the size.

So you have three commom options:
1. Replace lower bolt with an eccentric/lobed 14mm bolt.
2. Replace upper bolt with an eccentric/lobed 16mm bolt.
3. Replace lower bolt with an eccentric/lobed 14mm bolt and move the original 14 mm "crash" bolt to the upper 16mm hole. This would give you extra play in the top bolt for adjustment. Slightly risky as you are relying on the friction and tension of the bolt to hold position rather than direct contact.
