That will come in handle next time I have to do the safety wire thing on a Half Track :)
Funny you should mention half-track, I have a Military surplus choke cable from a WWII half-track on my VW, because it was long enough.
The serious part of the picture was to show the fixed end attached first, the twisted length, insertation thru the bolt, final twists and if you look close, the ends bent back to keep from snagging, and here's why (it's only 17 seconds long) -

My cousins kid flew one in Iraq.

I promise to be politically correct in all my posts to keep the BBBB from vociferating.

The 69 KKX & then Doza B 69 boss 302 style F60-15 HD suspension spindles had safety wire wrapped 2 times then twisted for ID purposes. Then in 70 they all went to doza-c spindles with green thread tape around top of spindle for ID.
