HIGH GRADE STAINLESS. It is a mission critical assembly element in
nearly ANY AND ALL military assemblies where vibration is introduced.

Who cares about *only* military applications?

You're an idiot.

Calling me that doesn't make it so. I'm an 'idiot' who can read a simple
website. You, seemingly, can't.

Lock wire was common on vintage cars, etc.

No. It was common on brit machinery... maybe. In the US, military
methodologies like that were NOT used on cars.

Why do you harp on about what may or may not be used in the military? They
are hardly a bastion of good practice given the numerous cock ups. In
other words human.

Still used on London Taxis up
until recently


And London Taxis are from a 60 year old design, no doubt. Again you
sport your stupidity like a flag.

And strictly controlled by a licensing authority. Who insist on many
aspects of the design.

- may still be. And it is a soft iron wire which can be
twisted easily.

No, IDIOT! Soft iron wire would garner water in the twists and be
rusted off within a matter of weeks, if not days.

Now you're being an idiot. No steel or iron rusts through in a matter of
weeks.

You are never going to win this, because it is blatantly obvious how
little you know about it.

I've probably seen more lock wired nuts and bolts than you've had hot
dinners.
