    Where to buy .032 stainless steel safety wire / How much ?

    Where do you buy your stainless steel .032 safety wire

    How much do you pay for a 1 lb can?

    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.

    Isn’t is sad how some people’s grip on their lives is so precarious that they’ll embrace any preposterous delusion rather than face an occasional bleak truth?

    Thanks !

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