Re: Art of Safety Wiring

To all of those racers who have found safety wiring as an art, can you direct me to where I could learn this? Is there a specific book? Any good sites?

What guage do you use?

What is the best sized pliers?


Thanks.

Spank her once for me.

.032 is the size of wire to use, and the pliers will teach you with practice. I am an aircraft mechanic and we safety wire everything! Get the larger pliers.

Re: Art of Safety Wiring

And buy good pliers, not the $19.95 cheapies. I like milibar. I wire a ton of #### at work for our race boats/motors and its the sort of thing that just takes practice till you get a feel for it. Search the old forum, there were some good threads, and I remember posting links to pictures and such back then.

Keeps nuts or bolts from vibrating loose, a mechanical way to secure fasteners before Locktite was invented
