Lock Wiring

[rumble]

So ive got the way you lock wire bolts down, but how do you lock things like a master cylinder? The master ive got has counter sunk screws, is just wrapping lock wire around the cap and body acceptable? Or do i have to drill through the cap and body on a 45?

id say a strand right around it would be fine.

I'm pretty sure that you don't have to lock wire the master cylinder cap. As with most it is impossible to lockwire the bolts correctly, plus its not under pressure and not critical in the event of a failure.
send a pm to HIPPY or OZminimoto and they should be able to have the final word as they will be the ones in charge.

No need to lock wire your marster cylinder guys. Chris Jones and the boys from North Qld have done all the work with MA and Jonesy is happy to answer any questions you may have: 0417794793. As long as you have alloy footpegs and bar ends and im sure we will get you on the track without too much trouble guys.

Just remember that entrys for Phillip Island "CLOSE" in 14 Days!! And MA will not allow us to take late entries. So get those entries in before the 18th because you dont want ot miss this one!! Its taken us 2 years to put this one together and its going to be an Awesome weekend of racing!! You can find entry forms at minimoto.org.au: Home

Barnesd09 put this up a while ago..... being a racing noob i dont know what to expect either. Alloy foot pegs?? i put sliders on my steel ones, hope that will work.

 

[Hippy]

Alloy sliders should be fine mate. Just give Jonsey a bell if your worried about anything and he will sort you out.
