I think how many are joined is pretty unimportant so long as it's done correctly. If I had five bolts I would agree that all together would be the easiest.

You post this AFTER I already wire all 10 bolts together. Where was this thread last week? LOL Now I know. 3 more rotors to do.

here is a pic of my saftey wire on the wilwood brakes, I did the 2,3 combo.

I hope this helps. To get a better view you might save it to your computer and zoom in.

I did the 2 and 3 also on the hub....and just did pairs of two for the rotor/hat. When I ran the wire, I made sure that if one bolt was going to loosen, that it was oriented to pull the other bolt tight...so they would cancel each other out. Honestly I don't know if that works, but that's how I strung them together.

The pliers was an interesting learning curve....took two of us about a half an hour to figure it out...and I used to think we were the smart ones!:captain:

yes, the idea of saftey wiring bolts together is if one loosens if would have to tighten the other and vis-a-versa.
