Landing gear safety wires.

[Wurzel]

Hi all,

My Acroduster had some heavy gauge wire between the gear and the fuselage(see photo), presumably as a safety measure in case the bungees ever snapped. I can't find any reference to this in the plans and was wondering if the original builder added these as a 'belt and braces' measure or whether it was called for by some safety bulletin or Airworthiness Directive? Does anyone have details on what gauge or spec the wire should be?
