Brief Description:  Safety Wire Dipstick Tube / Alternator Bolts

I wasn't quite sure how I should safety wire the two bolts on the alternator tension arm. I ended up safety wiring them together but I'm not sure if I'll stick with this setup. It's a long span for the safety wire and if it ever breaks it may get caught in the alternator belt or ring gear. Also, I'm not quite sure about the tension that I have on the belt. The instructions say you only need enough tension so the belt doesn't slip and that too much tension causes the alternator bearings to wear out prematurely. I'll check the tension on other RV's and see how others have safety wired the tension arm bolts when I head down to Sun 'n Fun in Florida next month.

I also safety wired the oil filler / dipstick tube.
