First go with safety wire

[RV6AussieNick]

Hi Bill,

Reading some of the other relies i should have been a bit clearer, I start my first run with the normal twist of the lock wire pliers, at the next run or the tail i twist the opposite direction to help the next run lay flat, if its the tail i twist a bit more so the wire doesn't part when it is bent back on it's self.

Each run should be tight and straight between the heads, if it is slack or a slight bow I'd replace it.

Larry posted a drawing of a perfect lock wire run on the first page of this thread, in an ideal world we would be able to do our runs exactly like this.
