did I lace this hub correctly

[smalblokmopar]

So I am putting my frontend togetherandI amnot sure the correct why at lace the bolts. Ilooks horrible to me. I think i need to pull it tighter at the very least.

They need to be tighter as mentioned, but you need to lace in such a manner that if a bolt were to begin working loose, it will pull the safety wire tighter.

See how if the bolt begins to unthread, it pull against the safety wire immediately:

I did my Wilwood like this...

Spinning them with the safety wire plyers is the best way. Harbour Freight has a set for not alot of money.

As an aircraft mechanic i prefer riddler's way that's proper aircraft technique however the other way would work as well.

Wish I remembered how to safety wire things, I was the pit crew for a road racer a while back and he taught me how to do it but I have no clue as to the right way to it. Will be saving the pictures posted here. Thanks guys.....

Pardon my ignorance, but I've never even heard of this. Is this for older rotors or brakes used in racing? Obviously it appears to be a safety measure to prevent the bolts from loosening, but is this a common problem? Would locktite be an option for preventing them from backing out?
