I suspect aircraft bolts with safety wire holes are readily available from
many of the kit-built airplane outfits. I've considered this route myself,
but would rather buy the bolts than drill them (unless they are $5 each!).
The safety wiring thing makes more sense to me than any other scheme I've
seen.
