In #2 The locking ring has been welded and I would say they ran the cable through the interior of the hundreds of wooden blocks then anchored them with the nut and bolt connection that the turnbuckle is attached to. The other end of the cable is fastened on the right side around the spoke of the wheel hub, so the cable passes behind and to the right of the turnbucklemaking a complete circle and a bit more . Any thought about the wooden wheel on the fighter ? while the truck could operate at low speeds what of an aircrafts take off and touch down speeds ! amoung other hazards
