## Discrepancy

BOTH BRACKETS CRACKED ALL THE WAY ACROSS BEARING BOSS, SEVERELY CORRODED AND MOUNTING LEG OF ONE BRACKET BROKEN OFF.  THE PROBLEM WITH THESE BRACKETS IS THE HIGHLY REAACTIVE MAGNESIUM WHICH THEY ARE MADE OF.  THIS IS A HIGHLY CRITICAL COMPONENET AND SHOULD BE INSPECTED CLOSELY OR REPLACED.
