I used it on the bolts that hold the rotor to the hub but no where else.

Did not use wire. Used loctite on key bolts.
Car is drag race only. Check them twice a season
6 years later still no losey. Wilwood fronts

I had one caliper mounting bolt come out, was red loctited too. Now I know why they're drilled.

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.

Just a tip on wiring stuff (I know most of you guys know)the wire should be ran from the side that tightens the bolt if you pull on the wire. 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.

I always hated safety wire 'till I got a decent tool and spent some time with it. Now I safety wire everything I can. Only takes one bad experience....
