I loctite the pump to block bolts with BLUE, no safety wire needed. I have safety wired the bolts that hold the cover on the pump on some cars but it really should not be needed. I was using titanium wire, stainless shoudl work as well. Blue loctite should work just fine, or RED if you never plan on pulling the cover off.
