Thanks Keith,
What about AN fittings, do you drill and safety those as well? Would 0.032 be the right size for those?

Joe,
I haven't actually looked it up, but I'm sure AC 43.13 would have specific recommendations for safety wire size by application.
For "small fasteners" (e.g., ¼" bolts and smaller) I use .032". For "Big stuff" (e.g., prop bolts) I use 0.41". I also have a spool of 0.020", but I haven't found anything small enough to use it on as yet - that would be for the "really small fasteners".
Regards,
Keith Hallsten

What size safety wire is typically used in the engine compartment?
Thanks,
Joe
