Default Knockons or spinners

The Autokraft AC's (AK's ) came with holes in the compomotive wheel webs for the safety wire and this was for a "nut" that was also safety wired to keep the wheel on. The removal/apply tool was basically a box wrench of about 2 1/2 to 3" with about an 18" handle. You may remember that knockon's were sort of outlawed at one time as dangerous to someone ;pedestrians perhaps. I have added a couple holes in each wheel
as i tend to do two "ears" per wheel (having had one come off (not wired)years ago. I have seen a bit of a twist put in the twisted safety wire with needle nose pliers to put a very small 90 degree kink in the long portion of the wire.
