Sounds spot on Vince.
61-63mm centre swingarm to chain pin, and 31Nm (sequence 1-2-1, as tightening the second bolt will take torque off the first one).

…only other thing I could add is: you also need to make sure you find the tightest point on the chain to measure at, since I’ve yet to see a used chain that’s worn perfectly evenly.
