Good question Murray.
Avery Tools (www.averytools.com) has a "Safety Wire Drill Jig" (page 37 in
their 2003 catalog). It mentions that they are "designed to drill safety wire
holes in bolts and nuts". Style #1 is for "drilling holes in threaded part of
bolts" (20.00 U.S.) and Style #2 is for "drilling holes in side of bolt head
and nuts" ($27.00 U.S.). If there is a tool jig for this, I would imagine
that it would be okay. I did it in several places on the Long-EZ where I had
limited space and custom cut to "custom" length a clevis pin and drilled the
end for a cotter pin. I did it very carefully with my drill press and a "V"
block. Worked for me.

To keep the inspector happy first time around regardig castle nuts and
cotter pins in place of nyloc nuts, is there anything wrong with drilling
the shank out yourself and making the bolt into say an AN4-10?
