Safety wiring knock offs
I'm sure this must have been addressed many times, but I didn't see the subject on the forum currently, so here it goes.
Can anyone give some advise on how to safety wire the spinner on pin drive wheels? 
I have been driving for about 1.5 years now (6500 miles) and have never had a problem with the spinner backing off. I use an 8 lb. rubber slap hammer. Haven't found a 10 lb lead hammer that was recommended to me yet. Works fine and I don't mar the wheels.
That said, I know tracks require safety wire and who can argue that it must be more secure.
I've got the wire and the plyers and I have the theory. As with all things there must be some practical wisdom on the subject out there, and that's what I'm looking for.
Some photos would be very illuminating.  |
