Safety wire bolts

You will need one pair of safety wire pliers. Harbor Freight sells them cheap. The 9 inchers will do fine. Also get a roll of .032 stainless wire. You will have about 20 bucks in this.

My engine bolts were single drilled so I installed the safety wire in a D-pattern. I figure yours are the same. Make a U with 18 inches of wire. Run one leg through the hole and the other around the bolt and stretch both wires toward the attachment point. Make the D so that any tension on the wire will serve to tighten the bolt. Cross the wires at the point where they pass the second attachment point or the next bolt. Atach pliers to the wires where crossed and pull on the knob. Do this several times til you get 8-10 twists per inch and either tie off to the attachment point or make your D on the next bolt. When finished, trim the excess and use your needle nose to bend the sharp ends down to avoid a potential snag. Should look pretty trick when you are done. Even pros screw up and make the D backward or twist too much wire. Lotsa practice helps.

After you get it all down, try doing it above your head as far as you can reach, in the dark, 16 inches deep inside a space about the size of a milk jug. A squished milk jug.

Then try no to punch the QA guy when he wants you to cut it out to prove that you had exactly 8-10 twists per inch.

These older machines were produced with a surface to suface clearance tolerance a LOT larger than today's machines. They could rattle themselves loose suddenly.

Today's machines are torqued down so accurately with near perfect clearances that there will be virtually no way a bolt could rattle itself loose
