Default Safety wiring

I used to teach safety wiring when I was an airframe instructor in Borden.
There are two types of wire monel and inconel for high heat applications.
Wire sizes range from .0010 copper for witness wire, .0020, .0032, .0040, and .0060 thou.
You only really need a pair of duckbill pilers and sidecutters but wire twisters can really make a professional looking job, and yes they are made to twist left and right.
Any one who owns a WLA OR WLC would greately penifit from using drilled nuts on the engine and transmission they are'nt called Miliwakee vibrators for nothing.
Vibration can loosen locktite and cause lockwashers to loose their grip, safety wiring is your last line of defense.
