Was my understanding correct? Or does the top 14mm bolt now have to be torqued down more since it's in a larger diameter hole?

Thanks! Can't wait to get the car on track
I would say that they are both good-n-tight the way you tightened them down. Any more and I reckon the bolt/nut is going to come off in your hand/socket.
