Hi Derel, yes they should be safety wired, You will want to do it with the tension and direction of the safety wire pulling the clamps tighter together,
Enjoy the ride, and best regards,

They are recommend to be wired. Not mandatory.
Interesting, Thanks, most all organizations I know require them to be wired as one more step toward making sure the hoses all stay where we want them,
The recommendation is good advice to follow,
Best regards,

I use slot head hose clamps and run a piece of lockwire across the opening, therefore creating a mechanical tension keeping the screw head in the tighten direction.
Does someone have an photo example of how the wiring would be accomplished? In my case the smaller tang is sloped without a prominent step and would not allow wiring reliably away from the larger tang (the direction required to pull the clamp 'closed'). Should this hardened spring steel tang be drilled to wire properly?
Thanks
The larger tab is open in a U shape that would lend itself to wiring to other items. If it's not oriented correctly a removal and flip would solve the problem quickly. Part of safety wiring is mechanical prevention of loosening of parts, another is a visual confirmation to scrutineers that the part has been checked, and quite often that is almost as important. The wiring of a clamp like this would be the latter, but still a good idea.
