I'm fitting up the alternator and it's belt tensioning bracket (a 40amp 

from  B&C).  The bolts are drilled for safety wire but the 2 bolts are 

like 8" apart.  Do I just run the safety wire between the 2 bolts?  

Seems long but there are no other obvious tie-off points.

Shouldn't be a problem.  Just get good twist on the wires.  There are

several places on my RV-4 with that large a gap in the safety wire.  I

assume the bolts are going into threads on the mount?  If nuts are used,

just use locknuts (all-metal, due to temperature considerations in the

engine compartment).

I usually put a 1/16" hole in the bracket to tie the other end of the safety wire to.

I drilled small holes in the large steel arm holding the alternator  

and used shorter safety wire runs....

Drilled #40 holes in the arm about 2" from the bolt.  Just did it this past weekend.
