All in all not a bad attempt and a good way to keep things tight. Did you use safety wire pilers, or was this done by hand?

Patrick, I believe you should re-do this and report back here with the improved version. You are far too meticulous to let this go and we all know you are losing sleep after reading this expert inspector's evaluation.
