only old aviation equipment used lockwire, as no effective locknuts etc were available.
Next time you are around any, both old and new, aircraft, take a close look. You will see safety wire used in a lot of places. The reason for this is simple, whenever you have vibration, you have the opportunity for ANY locking fastener loosening up. Nylock nuts are only good for applications that are not in a heat zone. Anywhere you have heat, the nuts need to be metal lock type and, as a “safety”, safety wire.
