ABOUT PAPADAKIS RACING:
The Papadakis Racing team began drifting in 2004 and is the most winning team in Formula Drift history, earning the 2015 title with driver Fredric Aasbo, as well as backto back championship titles with driver Tanner Foust in 2007 and 2008. The Rockstar Energy Drink / Nexen Tire Toyota Corolla Hatchback is the latest competition build from the Hawthorne, California, based team.
Team owner Stephan Papadakis is a legend of sport compact racing who began building his reputation in the 1990s with the first front-wheel drive, tube-chassis drag car in the U.S. The team earned multiple records and championships in the discipline, turning in elapsed times and trap speeds previously thought unattainable in front-drive drag cars. Papadakis' successes in front-wheel drive were matched by his efforts in rear-wheel drive when he campaigned a Honda Civic that became just the fifth car to join the NHRA's Sport Compact 200 MPH club.

@MrLongboarder87 2 года назад

A&P mechanic, great video. Only thing I would add is if you have the room always twist your wire inline with the safety wire hole. It gets your wire as tight as possible on the starting bolt head.

@ONLYUSEmePENUS 5 лет назад

A good tip for getting the tail that little bit more taught especially in areas of little access is to actually motion the wirelock plier in a circular motion as you also rotate the pliers 90 without using the puller at the end, alternatively grip the wire tail as close to the bolt head as possible and rotate from there.

@9rjharper 5 лет назад

Can you explain this a little more? How does that make it more taught? Does it just "walk" the wire tighter through the hole?

@BC437A 5 лет назад

@@9rjharper Do a RU-vid search for: Agent Jay Z lockwire. He has a excellent mini series of lockwiring. Easier to watch how it is done than it is to explain it.

@ruikazane5123 5 лет назад

We also use wiring methods, but back in the day that was thicker wire. One tip though: if you're putting safety wire on your handgrips, make sure you tighten the wrap, putting tension on it until you finished twisting them. Just to make sure they're tight, and don't overtwist or you will end up snapping the wire! Don't cut too short as well, as the twisted wire itself can unravel and loosen.

Ricardo, everybody? No not everyone, but you will quickly come to find out that we can be very strict about it. It is an easy way to identify who in the trade wants to be professional, and who just doesn't care about the quality of their work. Safety wiring is very easy to discern a true professional by the small attention to details, and it is also very easy to see where or if a person messed up.

@driftmonkey3646 5 лет назад

Well when we’re looking at safety wire on RU-vid....yeah... an aircraft mechanic will pop up. Btw, that’s an example of a safety that would get cut by the inspector ☺️☺️

@Weekend_Washouts 5 лет назад

Yeah, I'm a TF33 mechanic at Tinker Air Force Base and I really cringed to see the way he finished that pigtail. But hey I guess it works but no inspector in propulsion would ever let that fly (unintentional pun).

@haydenbriggs 7 месяцев назад

I work on aircraft and boy do we used safety wire everywhere. Just a tip for you. Once you have the path of the loose wire going to the second bolt. Clamp the tip of your pliers where the hole for the next bolt is. Then give a slight and quick yank of the wire and hold the tension, then twist your pliers. This will pull the slack of of the wire. Another note, as you twist the wire, it will shrink in length and you always want to compensate so you don't have to re-twist on wire you've already twisted. Good video for beginners, but the wire between the two bolts you want really tight as well. For this application, it is fine, though.

@scottjohnson7450 2 месяца назад

Fellow A&P here...I had no real nitpicks about his safetywire, until how I saw how he finished it. My old sergeants in the AF would've CRUCIFIED me if they saw me wrap the last end around the head and THEN pigtailed it. Other than that, pretty decent video!

Try spinning the bottom one counter clock wise it’ll make the long strand tighter making the bolts have even less give

@k4x4map46 5 лет назад

man I'll show ya how to safety-wre!! Great stuff! Also, close the lockwire pliers, put silicon in the little scoop like gap, wrap nose of the pliers with masking or painters tape, let it cure overnight. Then remove thou masking material, slice the cured silicon with a sharp razor blade straight down the middle parallel with the cutting jaws, the silicon will keep your cut ends from flying and it won't impede your safety-wiring technique. Silicone gets old worn from use, clean it out, repeat the process. Tried and true, try it out, you won't be looking for pieces of safety-wire, save time in the garage, account for all pieces. yup

@JsGarage 5 лет назад

If you just start twisting just a tiny more than the length you need you can get it first try. Twisting at less than you need will always be less as twisting the wire will make it shorter than untwisted wires. So at a minimum just twist the length you need.

@alexduke5402 5 лет назад

I would have put the wire in the other direction on that motorcycle you pull down on the throttle and it goes up if you let go. It could dig in your hand when your really pulling on it or could grab you if you release it. Just worse case scenario bc it's only going to happen when it matters most

@mxer4life25 5 лет назад

Real reason you don't want your grips moving on the bike is arm pump. But you only need to wrap it around once. Never heard of anyone wrapping it twice. And do 3 points on the grip. Far left, middle, and far right. Even if one of those areas isn't slipping around.

Great wiring on the engine but you better wire more safe the grips. Before install they need glue and the end of the wire must fall towards the ground. Of course you need at least 2 safety wires per handle. Great advices anyway.

@MrJmyers32 3 года назад

Good enough for automotive work but you would probably have been better off using .025 wire, also the pigtail should be about twice as long and be at the hole not between the holes. If you have reversible pliers its best to reverse the pigtail.

@আবুবকর-ন১ধ 3 года назад

on upper bolt the wire from upper right hole must be straight with the boltheadhole then you start to twist and then after bend the twisted wire down. otherwise the wire on twist start to lose and can slip over the bolt head (happend a lot at flatbolt heads, normal head too) or you do first twists maunaly with huge angle to each other wires. the expensive saftywireing system ist www.dmctools.com/products/safe-t-cable/ (but safe-t-cable is not allowed tu use inside oil systems). after lower bolt you do much twists, cutting to short and you never twist behind the outgooing hole, everytime after outgoing hole and bend after outgoing hole too. you do racemechanic typical mistakes, just show you from aircrafttechnician or powerplant technician, that small but effected differents 😉

This is wrong, the last twist (using the pliers) should be counter clockwise. Before entering the second bolt, you must remove one twist ( in your case) in order to make it tight.
