The safety wire is not just for nostalgia, it actually serves and has a purpose. It stops a part from exiting the ride and will expand and contract with the heat of the part it attaches too. In several sanctioning bodys its a requirement and at Aircraft Spruce they sell hardware that is predrilled for safety wire.If you have wilwood brakes; their current hardware has safety wire provisions and is highly recommended. The safety wire is just that a safety in case you didn't properly tighten part, it doesn't mean end of maintenence you still need to run over hardware, spinners, fittings periodically. Aircraft , NASA, IMSA, NASCAR,some NHRA, DIRT and just about all the outlaw cars and Modifieds its required.P.S. no slack! just because it is wire doesn't mean it isn't strong. Ebay is a great place to find the wire .041" & .035" and 9" pliers, Make sure wire is from the Aircraft industry or equivalent I bought some more Airline surplus off Ebay it will last a lifetime.
