Yes sir...Nothing like a fellow wire twister...I installed a Z1 25 row kit but utilized aircraft adel clamps where applicable along with teflon wrap where contact was anticipated with each other and heater hose against the frame...thinking about safety wiring oil hose b nuts at cooler and sandwich adapter...Over kill???? perhaps

Better get a handful of 1/8 drill bits

I got out in 09 and I still have rolls of safety wire laying around. Comes in handy for a lot of things. If you do safety wire the B nuts I'm in for pics
