Reply to "Wiring gearbox"

Garth, I have safety wired aircraft stuff and inspected others work for over 35 years. Excellently done my friend. You'd be surprised how many don't understand the concept of "righty tighty lefty loosey.

I once saw turbine engine hot section case bolts beautifully done but all backwards. I had the guy do it over and again he did a great job but again backwards. I ask WTF ? He said he did as I instructed by twisting the wire the other way. Third time he nailed it after I showed him what the the concept was.

Last, nothing hurts more than ramming safety wire under a fingernail so always tuck the pigtail.
