Default Question about safety wire and Wilwood Brakes

I'm in the middle of installing my Wilwood 12.2" brakes. I've run safety wire on all the bolts connecting the adapter plate to the rotor. Now I need to run safety wire on all the bolts attaching the hubs to the adapter plate/rotor. My question though is regarding the fact that there are only 5 bolts holding the hub on. Am I supposed to run safety wire to only 4 of them or do I need to double some of them up and connect each bolt to the one beside it? Any pics would be great. Thanks in advance.

Thanks guys. Frank, do you do the rotor and adapter plate continuous also, or just the five on the hub.

We just did this to the front. We did them in sets of two for the rotor to the hat.

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.

There will be a story on this in the July Camaro Performers.. performed by none other than David Pozzi.

Thanks Steve. I think that's how I'm going to end up doing mine. I think half the battle is just learning how to use the pliers. Do any of you have any pics you could post, just to make sure that I have done it right. Thanks again for the responses.
