## Discrepancy

PART ON A/C DID NOT FIT BUSHING ASSY.  HOLE IN EYEBOLT IS TOO BIG.  ORDERED NEW PART AND HOLE WAS THE SAME.  API TECH SAID MFG MUST HAVE MADE BAD BATCH OF PARTS W/HOLE ID OF .315 INSTEAD OF CORRECT.286.  OUR SUPPLIER (KRN) MEASURED THEIR INVENTORY AND FOUND AN EYEBOLT W/CORRECT DIMENSION.
