Default Wire

Unfortunately, I can tell you from experience the standard gauge wire won't hold the spinner in place. Luckily it did very little damage when tire came off and it came off quickly.

Here's something I might try tomorrow. Tighten down a spinner with a lead hammer just like before. Then see how much torque it takes to loosen it. Then start over, and see how much torque it takes to loosen it with the safety wire in place. Then see how much torque it takes to break the wire. That would be interesting.
