## Discrepancy

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)
