Safety wire?
Just curious...how many of you that run Wilwood discs are following the directions and safety wiring the rotor bolts? I've just finished mocking up the brakes on my Nova, and am planning on safety wiring this weekend. But I couldn't remember ever reading anything on this or any other site regarding safety wire. BTW, if you want to see an awesome "deer in the headlights" moment, walk into any auto parts chain and ask for safety wire pliers!! Priceless! Also tried Sears, Grainger, Total Tool (best name ever), Harbor Freight. Any advice for where to buy 'em? Thanks

Re: Safety wire?
Google - Aircraft Supply or Aircraft tools. Can't remember the exact name but I got mine from a place in Kansas. Aircraft Spruce supply? Something like that.
About $30.00, work great. |

Re: Safety wire?
Thanks for the replies, fellas. I was able to borrow some from a buddy who's into road racing. Even got a lesson!
I'm still curious about my original question, though: does everyone wire the rotor bolts, or not? |

Yes, getting closer. I should have it on all fours within a week, and I have tentative plans to haul it to the body shop over Labor Day weekend. I don't have any excuse not to be out next spring!! At least some TNT action at Rolling Thunder, anyway. I'll need to learn how to drive the thing before I go anywhere else....though, I've watched your in-car video enough times that I could probably hop right in and go! |
