I never wired my MKIV wing nuts- I should have. When I went to get the car in Mississippi I drove it back and fought the right rear all the way to Texas- Then pulled it off cleaned all the junk off of it applied some never-sieze bought a 5 dollar dead blow hammer and lived happily ever after. If it seats good and tight you will never have an issue. You understand there is a left and a right-Just like the lug nuts on an 18-wheeler. That is what also keeps them on.
I understand that my new self proclaimed Late Model Original Kirkham will have the cute little F1 locks- So again I will be safety wireless.
JAMO is right though you leave the wire un-tought and if you feel it tight that is when you have a problem- the wire will not hold the nut on.
