Oil quick drain - where to safety wire it to?

[iamtheari]

I got the Saf-Air oil quick drain for my IO-390. I installed it in place of the plug on the aft face of the sump, near the center left-to-right, which I understand to be where the RV-14 and RV-14A prototypes both have it mounted. It is an NPT so I installed it finger-tight plus a full turn. Now I need to twist some lockwire onto it. But I don't see any obvious places on the engine to run the lockwire to. Does anyone have any pointers on where to aim the wire?

Paul Dye recently wrote an article in Kitplanes magazine about fabricating tie wire tabs that are cut and bent from sheet metal. The tabs go under a bolt or nut that is convenient and have a hole drilled for the tie wire to attach. That may be a solution for you.
