Safety Wire Question

[Danr55]

Jeff, it looks like for the first time in 15 years, you and I disagree on something. Safety wire will hold the spinner from coming unwound provided the wire pulls in a positive direction and the pigtail is sufficiently long to keep it from coming undone. I've hung miles of safety wire on 100s of jet engines over the past and I've seen the results of bad wire jobs. You have to leave sufficient wire on the bitter end to make a loop and cut the wire. If you cut the pigtail too short it will come undone. If you cut it too long, you create a catch that WILL find someone or something it cut, slice, or poke. Hell, if I had a nickle for every foot of safety wire I've hung, I could pay for my new Tremec Tranny, which works really nice by the way..It is always safer to use a pin through the hub to prevent the knock off from coming unwound.
