As you have already found out any garden wire stuff has not the right strength and flexibility you will need. I take safty wire from KTM but I think every stainless steel safty wire will work.

To the thickness of the wire and the clutch:

I used one wire and leaded it through the holes of the nuts just two times to be safty the nuts will not turn around.

This worked very well:

I would not use just any wire, get lockwire. You don't want it to break and get circulated around your primary. I found mine at a place that specialized in old airplanes. They tend to use a lot on planes.

Here a pic from the manual, as you see they did not use very special or thick material either.

I dom't had any hole in the nut to safty or lock wire the flywheel weight. Here a pic when I took the clutch cover away. When I got the bike the seller stated he never wrenched on the bike, because he has two left hands when it comes to technical maintance. (which must have been true, every bolt and nut was original and untouched.).

The original wiring of the clutch wasn't very aesthetic or in any systematical order.

I wrapped the end of the wires after drilling a little bit around the second wire just to get sure it will not move due to centrifugal force.

The wire just holds the nut in place nothing more, if it is made out of stainless steal, St 1.4571 of V4A, the strengh should be around 600N/mm
