Lockwire nuts

(OP)
Does anyone know where I can buy nuts that are pre-drilled for lockwire?

RE: Lockwire nuts

Building race cars I usually try to safety wire as much as is practical.  Not a big deal so I use a jug and drill press most often.  However when I need more than just a few for some project I get my NAS stuff at Deering Industries in Long Beach, California , right next to Boeing Bldg. 55. For predrilled G-8 nuts and/or capscrews I hit the surplus joints and buy up all I can carry. Beyond that I am no help, sorry.

RE: Lockwire nuts

Aircraft Spruce is a good source of hardware.  Check them out at www.aircraftspruce.com. I believe they also sell a fixture that will let you drill your own holes in a nut or bolt head.

You also might want to try Wicks Aircraft, just outside of St.Louis.  They have everything for homebuilt aircraft:
