Place to buy safety wire bolts?
There anywhere in Chicago to buy these? Tired of tightening down the torque arm bolts (Moser 12 bolt). I have red loc-tited these things and tightened em down wayyyyyyyyy beyond the recommended ft/lbs with no luck.
Not sure if that's the "correct" name for them... but basically the bolts that have holes in them to run a wire through so they cannot back out.

I would agree with going to an airport or something along those lines. If you were closer to me I would help you out. Aircraft maintenance should have them, i know it's manditory or all bolts on the engine(s) itself to be safety-wired atleast the airframe I'm on. If you have any trouble and you really need, PM me and I can see what I can do.

If You Get A #50 Drill Bit And Build A Fixture To Hold Your Bolt Just Drill The Bolt Yourself. I Work On Airplanes And When Push Comes To Shove Thats What We Do. With The #50 Drill Bit You Can Use .032" Safety Wire.

was talking to a buddy I work with and he actually is always looking online and contacting airplane suppliers, not the big boeing comanies but the smaller ones for one prop planes like cesnas. but he said they actually have a fixture you can buy for 15 bucks that fits medium to smaller sized bolts and you just have to get the drill bit. He said you can either drill through the corners or straight through the head, whatever you prefer. check on ebay too they've got everything lol
