    Safety Wire
    « on: June 07, 2005 - 03:41:01 PM »
    I know this was brought up when I posted the thread a while back about installing my Wilwood brakes.... where does one go about finding .0032" safety wire (or equivilant)?? I've check Napa, Lowe's and Home Depot.... with no luck! :mad: :gripe:

    Any suggestions...?? I was told to check with an Army Surplus store, but I'm having my doubts about that.... :dontknow:

    Safety wire is commonly used on aircraft.  Maybe check with your local airstrip to find where they order supplies from.   Or you could order on line from these guys:  http://www.flightessentials.net/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=927

    Try www.jegs.com and enter this part number in the search field: 720-8022G

    Edit: I see that wrencher's suggested vendor is much less expensive. You should try his source first.

    Yeah, it costs more because it's "high performance" safety wire.     :laughing:

    Might be stiffer, but other than for rusting, it should work the same.
