    Wire added to a pair of rears now. Took a while. Probably around 3 hours to do two. The front ones have a little more room around the bolts, so should be quicker. Nice and tight. I'll do the front ones tomorrow evening.

    Having a go at the saftey wire, very stiff to get through the holes, hard to bend. That tool came with 1mm thickness. i checked Wilwood info and it's 0.030inch this is near on 0.8mm so I now have some of that coming.

    Checking theassembly instruction for the disks, there is some wire needed to secure the bolts. Luckily someone has done a youtube video.
