[ethosflux]

[raydobson88]

Good work mate.. Hey, cool garage too. Yep, I'm jealous.

[technician9999]

Thanx man

[CHEFBOYRD6942]

yes saftey wire should look like a backward S if not its not doing anything.

[mannygonzalez010]

waaaaayyyyyy too many twists

[fallingplane]

this wouldnt fly.

[UpcomingJedi]

Why bother measuring if he gets so much wire??

[NewShockerGuy]

Thank you so much!

First time doing safety wiring and you explained it perfectly!

Can't wait to do my entire bike now for the up coming track day next week!

[trilomann]

no, it is not airworthy because it does not completely look like he forms the backwards "S'

[sasquatch1366]

defiantly not airworthy, it looks rather negative to me and the pigtail isn't perfect but i guess it'll do. remember 8-10 twists per inch.

[nicklking]

you must rub a 43.13-1b at night ;-)

[IDontHaveAVideo]

6-8 per inch. AC 43.13-1B Figure 7-3a.

[jserrano0711]

thats the dumbest thing ive heard... a safety wire doesnt have to look like an s

[msxxfast]

@jserrano0711 Placing the wire in the shape of an S in the proper direction applies torque to the bolt so it doesn't back out. from vibrations.

[jserrano0711]

@msxxfast im an jet engine mechanic for f 16 engines. i know how to safety wire and i know why its there. it doesnt have to look like and s.

[msxxfast]

@jserrano0711 Okay so if you want to be LITERAL. No, it does not have to look like an S specifically, as long as there is torque on the bolts. However, it usually turns out that one bolt is wrapped slightly due to the direction of the thread when two bolts are next to one another. Proclaiming your profession may give you credibility. But a simple explanation as to why it doesn't have to be an S, instead of criticism, would have been sufficient to get your point across

[jserrano0711]

@msxxfast fuck yourself fool!

[msxxfast]

@jserrano0711 No need to get hostile. it is better to be constructive and help others with your knowledge. You know I'm right.

[jserrano0711]

@msxxfast fuck you!

[msxxfast]

@jserrano0711 lol

[sdave26]

[motokid032]

That'd be a pain in the ass having to change tires with..

[motocrossx321]

not bad.

[nicklking]

...now its air worthy ;-)
