I recommend blue loctite (or similar) on all rack bolts by the way.
The only bolts on a bike that I use my torque wrench on are my crank arm bolts on a square taper bottom bracket. Other fittings I go by feel.
I use a bungee from the top leading edge of the rack to the seat post. A nice insurance policy that is not too weight costly.
