What was found

WHILE DOING A PRE-FLIGHT INSPECTION, NOTICED NR 2 BRAKE OUTBOARD ROTOR DRIVE CLIPS APPEARED TO BE SPLINTERING AND CRACKING. REMOVED THE WHEEL AND FOUND THE NR 1 ROTOR CLIP WERE CRACKED AND THE NR 2 ROTOR FORWARD DRIVE CLIPS WERE BROKEN LOOSE. REPLACED BOTH BRAKE ASSEMBLIES. GULFSTREAM AND DUNLOP ARE WORKING TOGETHER ON A RE-DESIGN TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. (X)
