## Discrepancy

WHILE PERFORMING TASK NR 262070, RT FIRE BOTTLE WEIGHT CHECK DURING AIRCRAFT FIRST 2C CHECK, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT GROUND STUDS E4045 AND E4046 DID NOT HAVE THE WIRE TERMINAL HOLD DOWN NUTS TORQUED. THE WIRE TERMINALS WERE FREE TO MOVE UP AND DOWN ALONG THE STUDS, APPROXIMATELY .6250 INCH. NUTS WERE TORQUED AND FIRE EXTINGUISHING CIRCUITRY INTEGRITY TEST WAS PERFORMED AND FOUND TO BE SATISFACTORY.
