ALL my rear calipers are wired, its done for a reason when 1 starts loosening, they all start and then problems happen. Tony wire them up. just get the correct wiring tool pliers, it makes things go smoothly and neat.

I have never had a wilwood come loose with loctite and I have done many sets. but I may get the pliers and safety wire and do them later, it's one of them things there is always a first time.

So if you have 2 bolts one over the other and they're both right hand thread have the wire exit the right side of the top bolt, and enter the left side of the lower bolt. That way any tension on the wire tightens both bolts.

Jamie, if you need it done let me know, I do it all the time at work and have the tool plus the stainless wire. Light travels faster than the speed of sound,,,this is why some people seem bright untill you hear them speak.
