Lock Wire as Art

Been a few posts on Lock wiring; it's way beyond my bailiwick, so let's see your examples on Laverdas. Is there anything that cannot be lockwired? I just remembered, I do hand grips. My 3c came with a front axle nut drilled for lock wire. Has anyone ever lost a front axle nut? What do race regs require to be lock-wired? How the hell do you drill those tiny angled holes in hard-to-get-at spots to use lock wire?
 
Vince,

Jigs are normally used for cross-drilling threads and hex heads. Patience, care and cutting fluid are still vital requirements, unless you have an endless supply of 1.5mm drill bits. ;)

Not on my Laverda but on my final drive pulley to my BST carbon wheel on the big Harley....... I have to rewire each time I change the tire as the pulley needs to be removed. The hardest part of safety wiring is learning to apply the Band-Aids while your fingers are dripping in blood. ;)
