There seems to be two schools of thought about safety wire. One says lay one strand
of the wire over the bolt head, the other says warp both strands (twisted)
around the bolt head (obviously in the direction to prevent backing out.)
Which way do you see most builders doing this?
I can't find anything in the Bingelis books (Firewall Forward & Engines) suggesting
which method is best.
Thanks,
Sterling Brooks (using my dad's ISP, Georgia Peach)

Howdy Sterling -
In my version of AC 43.13-1B (9/8/98), page 7-23 says "Wire may be
wrapped over the unit rather than around it when using castellated nuts
or on other items when there is a clearance problem."
I haven't seen any castellated bolt heads (!) and can only recall seeing
wire wrapped around rather than over installed bolts. A 'clearance
problem' seems rather subjective... but I can't imagine being able to
tighten a bolt/nut that lives in a space too tight to install a small
length of safety wire. ???
Thanks for your question. I know a couple of A&P's that argue about the
color of the sky on most days... and this question is GUARANTEED to
produce some very entertaining/colorful discussions! :-)

Hey Guys check Check this link. Its from 43.13 (The Bible for aircraft repair)Anyone
