CompClassics is absolutely right. Safety wire might save your knockoff (spinner) before it goes flying off if you notice the slack change in the safety wire soon enough , but it won't save a wheel. Hopefully a driver would notice wheel wobble first and pull over and stop.

The pin type might give a little extra cushion/time to pull over before a wheel comes off.

He's also right that they were not used on the period Cobras. Comp or street.

Safety wires were a more recent thing required by some competition sanctioning bodies.

Cheers
Greg
