Hey guys just a hint don't rely solely on safety wire. I had a little event the other day on a run up to Jake's corner slow down on the freeway to make a right hand turn got 50 yards down the road and the right rear tire fell off. luckily I was only doing about 5 miles an hour after making the turn. I got out of the car the rear fender was resting on the top of the tire and keeping the car from falling all the way to the ground. I went back up the road a ways and picked up the spinner and the safety wire was still attached to the spinner but had broken off at the wheel. I'm still trying to figure out how rubbing on an aluminum wheel broke a stainless steel safety wire. So the investigation continues but just a word to the wise if you have the ability to use clips or half pins in your wheels, use them.
