After I lost one of my pod filters, I was going to try the safety wire. Instead, I decided to try something different. I cut a strip of self-adhesive sand paper and wrapped it around each carb and then slid the filter over top and tightened. So far so good - the sand paper gives the pod filter something to grab on to - I can tug on the filter and it doesn't want to come off. I was worried the adhesive may not stick after a while but its been a month and no problems yet. You may want to try that if you don't want to use/see the safety wire.
