I appreciate the response but I'm not sure how to safety wire something that doesn't have a hole through it. (see image below)
That is actually what i'm trying to achieve. i want to buy and axle and nuts with a hole through them that fit my 2000 ducati monster 750.
If it were me, I'd drill the one I have.... But I might have more tools than sense.
The standard safety wire practice is through one of the corners of the nut, then looped against loosening and tied to some other hole.
