Found some. A guy I work with is a former aircraft mechanic, he's got some friends who are still doing that. One guy has a spool of it, he's gonna cut me like 20 feet of it.

Nope, not yet. A neighbor of mine said he has a pair of them, he just had to find them.

On Wilwoods... The 5 bolts that secure the hub to the rotor... Are they all safety wired together? Meaning, a single wire going through all 5 bolts?

48 bolts, one length of wire on the main seawater valve on submarines! I've done it.
