0 Richard Farrant Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 Does it matter if the wire is wound clock or anticlockwise ? Assume you mean twisting the ends together? Not sure it makes a difference, I have one of the special pliers and that winds the wire clockwise. What does matter if wiring bolt heads is that he wire is placed so it is in effect pulling the head clockwise, ie. tight, that way it holds it in position. Quote

0 Richard Farrant Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 Doesn't seem to matter, Chris. Clive, I had seen that drawing somewhere before, it actually explains better than words. Chris, look at the way the wire is pulling the screws, and pipe nut in the direction of thread tightening. Thanks Clive :thumbsup: Quote
0 fv1609 Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 Richard, it comes from RAC Training The Mechanical Fundamentals of Tracked & Wheeled Vehicles although I think they pinched it from Driver Training (All Arms) Electrical & Mechanical Principles of Tracked & Wheeled Vehicles Those books are jolly good points of reference.
