Where do you buy your stainless steel .032 safety wire

How much do you pay for a 1 lb can?

thanks

I bought mine at Bates Cycles off of Valwood / I35E...Moose Racing makes it. About 20 bucks if I remember correctly. I also use 0.041 guage from Harbor Freight. That stuff is impossible to break.

McMaster also has plenty of options for lockwire: http://www.mcmaster.com/#lock-wire/=lgacmn

I'm still struggling with a *rule* that .032 must be used. Not only is there absolutely zero engineering data to support it, but that crap is really hard to work with on front axle pinch bolts and motor screen bolts that are close together. I am finding I'm getting a MUCH WORSE locking function with a lot more slack.

Did you, uh, try twisting it?

Thanks !

I see there seems to be a wide range of prices from $7.61 (+ shipping) to around $20 for a 1 lb spool :(

What about the pliers? Any advice or thoughts. Is the Harbor Freight one "good enuf"?
