What was found

PILOT REPORTED THE NR 2 ALTERNATOR WAS INTERMITTENT. WHILE TROUBLESHOOTING THE NR 2 ALTERNATOR, FOUND 13 SCREWS LOOSE AND 1 SCREW MISSING ON THE COPPER CIRCUIT BREAKER BUSS BAR. THE 1 SCREW MISSING WAS ON THE NR 2 ALTERNATOR CIRCUIT BREAKER BUSS FEED. PROBABLE CAUSE FOR THIS WOULD BE THAT THEY WERE NOT TIGHT FROM FACTORY.
