"Safety wire" -- any kind in particular?

Not 100%. Typically, if it has a stop nut it doesn't require safety wire. Platenuts supply the self-locking ability that elastic stop nuts do but I have seen some applications where safety wire is used in conjunction. Castellated nuts use either cotter pins (typical) or safety wire (like prop nuts). But when there is no nut, you have to rely on specs. Typically, if it calls for a drilled-head bolt, it needs safety wire; otherwise it is not required. For example, the case bolts on my Superior engine did not require safety wire but the set screws securing the tappet guides did. Caveat: don't rely on what you find installed as your guide. I've seen people 'temporarily' replace a drilled bolt with an un-drilled one 'just to get home' which was then forgotten.

Pit Posse sells .032" safety wire for street bike guys to wire bolts but that seems a bit too big for grips imo.



I like to wire my hose on to the carb and gas tank as well.
