Over the next few weeks we will be adding several techincal articles to the forum.
This one is regarding the safety wiring of pin drive wheels , hopefully this link will help any builders that are not familiar with the procedure. :: Welcome To Vintage Wheels :: Wishing all forum members a Happy Thanksgiving !! Bob and the team at Vintage Wheels |
where do I get the plastic nylon tubing that is wrapped around the wire to prevent scratchi ng, and what size do i use.
|
16 gauge twisted wire insulation. Get it in 25' coils at auto places or Radio Shack or other electronic supply places. Many colors available, including black, blue, red, white, orange, yellow, etc. Strip off the insulation from a piece of the wire and thread your safety wire through the insulation.
For clear tubing try a hardware or aquarium supply place thin air lines but I've never seen anything as thin as the wire insulation. |
I'm going to get some clear tubing from a hardware store or aquarium shop. I see alot of original shelbys with the clear hose around the wire.

Bob,
Great 'how to article' ... I am new to pin drive wheels, so this will really help. Thanks! |
Shrink wrap works well also

Bob,
Is Fed Ex your only shipping option? I tried to order a new hammer but it only listed Fed Ex as a shipper. UPS or USPS are our only options. |
