These are new, and drilled for safety wire. The beauty is that you don't have to replace all the bolts, so if you want piece of mind that your CV joints will not come off, you can safety wire the bolts on. This will make it much easier.

It does not matter usually if you have two or four holes in the bolt. It is important that you radius the outer sides of each drilled hole to prevent a weak spot developing in the safety wire. I am assuming that the holes are drilled to accept .032 safety wire Stainless steel type. This wire can be obtained at most aircraft suppliers.
I use 108mm CVs and am drilling the heads myself. The bolts are 10mm and I am safetying two per wire connection (total four bolts per each CV |
