Should I safety wire 2 piece wilwood rotors?
I think most track prepped guys safety wire the 2 piece wilwood rotors. My used kit came without the proper bolts to do so. Should I order the bolts needed to safety wire them? If so what about caliper mounting bolts? Should they receive the same attention?

Thanks Sav!
I spoke to the Wilwood tech guys to confirm that I was ordering the correct bolts. He was surprised the Miata brake kits have changed to torx button heads for the rotor/hat mounting. He agreed safety wire was best for a track car.

I'm sure you can find what you need here:
Stainless Drilled Hex Bolts
But a safety wire drill jig and a pile of 1/16" jobber length drills would probably cost you less than the pre-drilled hardware.
Fastenal and places like that also carry pre-drilled stainless socket head capscrews, btw..

I'm a pay more for solutions vs doing my own stuff. Limited garage/tool space and a lack of time means I'm willing to pay for convenience.
