Default lower arm to hub pinch bolt 65Nm?

I don't understand the description in the Haynes manual but checking Rave I think I have the answer but can you confirm?

Lower arm to hub pinch bolt = 65Nm

Rave and Haynes say 45 but I'm sure here, we are advised 65

Many of us have found it necessary to increase the torque to clamp the pin adequately .

Start with 45Nm Ian and if there is no play then leave it at that. If you can feel any play with a pry bar then go up in 5Nm increments until it is rock solid. From what I remember 65Nm is a safe enough limit.
