What was found
WHILE ATTEMPTING TO RIGG THE NOSE GEAR AFTER DOING AN ENGINE AND MOUNT OVERHAUL, IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO MAINTAIN THE PROPER CLEARANCES AND THE LOCK WOULD NOT SNAP OVER CENTER ON THE DOWN CYCLE. WHILE WATCHING THE ACTUATOR IT SEEMED THE MOVE. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION AT THE UPPER ATTACH POINT (USING A BRIGHT LIGHT) THE BRACKET ASSY WAS FOUND TO BE SEVERLY CRACKED. WOULD RECOMMEND CLOSE VISUAL INSPECTION AT EACH ANNUAL. (K)
