I was able to get the pliers and the wire off Ebay. $19.00 Free shipping.

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?

You now owe me a keyboard - mine's covered in soda after that remark!!
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!

Hey Paul, I will send you one with the plastic protector on it! Send some pictures on your progress, looks like it will be very nice when it is completed. Jim

What Cyclone said, the safety wire will cost more than the pliers at Harbor Frieght.

A few months back I was in a buddys trailer and saw some thin washer on the floor. Asked him where they came from and did not know. There were from his brake calipers no wire ties! His car had been locking up when backing out of the trailer.
