REFLECTOR: Safety Wire

[Keith Hallsten]

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
