Hi Terry,
No, Don says split pin holes are outside. Your way is correct
for non-line up holes to the slot, but Don's case is
different!
Hi Don,
I think you can put an appropriate washer under the castle nut.
Or re-drill a new hole. Safety wire may not suit to Ruby I
believe (looks too competitive).
Good Luck,
Hiro
