FWIW dept. ...
The K&N HP line of oil filters comes with a drilled "cap" at the top of the filter, which could be safety-wired to _something_. The question then is: to what? (Hmmm, another feature to ad to my OFM.)

Subject: [FlyRotary] Safety Oil Filter & Dipstick?
I had a pre-DAR inspection by an EAA tech counselor and another long time
L-EZ driver last week. They both recommended that I safety wire the oil
filter and dip stick. I can see their reasoning and agree with it.but I
don't recall ever seeing it done on other rotary installations. Anyone have any insight here? (yep, safety wiring the dip stick makes
checking the oil a little difficult - I think the point was to figure out a
way to keep if from vibrating out.
Thanx,
