Interesting application. Not really such a corrossive atmosphere that you'd need to protect the threads, but it looks cool.
Eastwood once sold a jig that would clamp the hex head of a fastener, allowing the user to drill a safety-wire passage thru a pilot hole. In my misspent youth I was a Harrier Handler and had to safety-wire all the nuts and bolts that held a component down after I replaced it. But not a necessary step on a machine that stays on the ground.
