is this a new type of clamping technique for the charge pipes?

 

They have wiggins clamps. For some reason they always tape that clamp.

 

It's a saddle style clamp and saftey wiring(aircraft style) is to time consuming?

current f-18 mechanic , **** safety wiring a wiggans clamp should take anyone 10 seconds lol.

 

I remember talking to Rons crew guy in Veags. I remember him saying something about always having an issue with that clamp for one reason or another. I guess that tape works really well. I think he said they use it in between rounds during teardown and inspection because of the issue with it.

And it's alot easier to cut safety wire than it is to unwrap that duct tape. TF39 Specialist here (C-5 Galaxy)

Whats sad, is a clamp that expensive requiring safety wire or duct tape in the first place... lol.

so that car should not even pass tech... how come noone has brought this up before with this car? Ron Lummus has been running away with wins the past 2 years and no one has noticed?

...as an A&P mechanic myself i don't mind safety wiring, but that is pretty sad.

 

thats why i went with aluminum o-ring v-band clamps.

 

many pro teams use the tape around the clamp just so the latch won't pop open. Quicker that safety wire for most guys...

 

I have run Wiggins for 4.5yrs...never had one open yet....The only thing i believe its for is the clamp will spin while the vibration increases and cut into the aluminum...over time that will wear out the tubing...

 

kinda a catch 22 . the clap is supposed to spin freely that means its secured properly.

 

Look closer at the pics...

... both cars have safety wire between the throttle body and the intake tube.

BTW, the team has several aviation-spec mechanics on the team (a 747 pilot, a inspector at Garrett Aviation, and a missile/bomb builder at Raytheon). Duct tape is used as a redundant back-up.

 

I am headed to ACE Hardware, need somel guess what????????


Duct Tape!

...im sure that there is safety wire under the duct tape. but its just that it looks very "BYT". oh and BTW, there is no more GARRETT AVIATION. i used to work for them.
