## Discrepancy

UNIT WAS MANUFACTURED BY COMBINING TWO SHEETMETAL BRACKETS RIVETED TO A CASTING THAT HOLDS THE OUTBOARD ELEVATOR HINGE BEARING.  CRACKING WAS FOUND IN BOTH THE RIGHT AND LEFT HAND ASSEMBLIES ON THE UPPER, INBOARD BEND RADIUS.  THIS CAN BE SEEN FROM UNDERNEATH AND LOOKING THRU THE ELEVATOR/STABILIZER GAP.
