How To Safety Wire
Recently been learning how to safety as per the new rules for TPM. Let me just say that the special pliers are one of the greatest inventions ever.
Heres a good read: http://www.whizwheels.com/Tips/safetywiring.html |
Those safety wire pliers are the schnizit!!! Can't imagine doing it without them. The biggest pain for me would be drilling the bolts, since I don't have a press. I cheated and purchased a pre-drilled set of bolts from Ed Bargy. The kit includes all the stuff needed for what's the usual minimum requirement for trackdays: Oil drain plug, oil filler cap, oil filter. He predrills OEM bolts, so they're better than those cheap aluminum LP drain plugs.

Now, no safety wiring will be required in any group. It will be strongly suggested though. Anyone with a track dedicated bike that does several days a year should safety wire their bike. |

Yeah, Cobalt is usually the way to go. The problem with safety wiring is we use 1/16" bits and if you use too much pressure they will flex and break. It's best to use a sharp bit with light even pressure. Let the bit do the work. Also use some sort of cutting oil. I use LPS lubricant. WD40 works well too. |
