I am looking for pictures of the proper way to safety wire the gas tank bolts in my car. I understand the concept and have the special pliers and wire for the job (havn't tried to use them yet).
On my car, all the bolts are drilled including the bracket bolts as well as the bolts that through the tank and the front bolt with the spring.
There are no lock washers on the frame bracket bolts, so I assume they should be wired, but I know for sure the 3 tank mounting bolts need to be wired, I just don't know what to wire them to.
Appreciate any help you can give.
