SS safety tie wire gauge

[super]

I use Bob's 0.41 stainless steel lock wire

look here: Stainless steel lock wire : Vintage Wheels, Mustang, Hot Rod and Muscle Car

I also recommend a small tube covering the wire to protect your rims.

And, not to forget, I add a small loop into the wire to see if something happens with the spinners (the small loop stays round as long as everything is OK, when the loop deforms you know there is something wrong because the wire was strechted, if the wire becomes loose you will also notice this by moving the wire directly to its sides).

This picture can explain it better than my poor English...

OK, you made me think and I have replaced the .032 wire with the .041. I also used the small clear fish tank air hose to cover the wire and it works great and doesn't show up when you are driving. I got my .041 wire and the twister pliers from the same place that Super got his.
