[DeTomaso] Torque question

[boyd casey]

I just noticed today while I was switching the the rotor to the new hat that
my allen screws were drilled for safety wire. What do you wire them to? I
don't see a place to anchor the wire. granted I have never safety wired
anything before, I have only heard about it on internals of ZF's and seen it
on aircraft. Please elaborate.
Thank's

Boyd
