I understand,
Lockwire was used lots on old Pommie stuff to, no point really they still leaked even if tight.
Lockwire pliers are a good thing if you have too twirl wire a lot. Not expensive tools really and do a neat consistant job.

Yeah Chris
I tried convincing Gary that I had used Loctite but I still had to get out the TieWire and Pliers to get through Tech.

Re: Safety Wiring article from the LTA
The lock wire is not to hold the bolt tight but to tell if the bolt has loosened ( broken wire)

Re: Safety Wiring article from the LTA
I always thought it was a good way of making sure you checked the bolt and actually had to think about it , cause if its tight you don't realy need the wire
Re: Safety Wiring article from the LTA
Greg, strangly I now find myself now defending the wire as much as I hate it.
What you say is dead true, a correctly torqued and streached bolt in the correct application will not come loose.
In reality we build stuff that might be old or fatigued material or homemade or suffer vibrations beyond the design brief etc that the wire can be the fail safe backup.

Re: Safety Wiring article from the LTA
the safety wiring of bolts and nuts is one of those rules from the the days of running old pommie bikes, when, no matter how tight ya made it, it still vibrated loose and fell off, ,,
with having the safety wiring in place the inspectors can tell at a glance that you have done 'em up,

Re: Safety Wiring article from the LTA
they are safer those vehicles, less chance of being in an accident , less chance of actually being on the road.....
...few understand what I'm trying to do , but they vastly outnumber those who understand why..
