I think its supposed to look like that, so that if bolt A tries to loosen it actually tightens bolt B.
I have no experience with safety wire though, so maybe you know something i dont? |
Yup, I've done my fair share of safety wiring over the past 10 years (military, and nuke plants require it). That is definately the "proper" way. But doing it that way, the safety wire was going to be rubbing on a corner of the housing, which you can see in that picture, and I wanted to avoid that because I don't want it to rub off the coating, or risk rubbing to the point that the safety wire breaks. I just don't want to look one day and see only 2 bolts barely holding the turbo up (happened to me on the Talon, and is the reason I safety wire them now). They can probably loosen a half turn, but the bolts wont fall off which is my main concern.
