## Discrepancy

A 1.4 INCH LONG CRACK WAS FOUND IN THE RT MLG DRAG BRACE SUPPORT BRACKET DURING INSPECTION.  DURING THE REMOVAL OF THE PART (2) ADDITIONAL CRACKS 1.4 INCH LONG WERE FOUND AROUND 4 FASTENERS WHERE THE BRACKET ATTACHES TO THE MAIN SPAR WEB.  WHEN INSTALLED, THE AREA AROUND THESE 4 FASTENERS IS OBSCURED BY THE MLG DRAG BRACE FWD ATTACH FITTING (PN 50-120201-5).  THE PART WAS REPLACED WITH A NEW BRACKET.  NO CRACKS WERE FOUND N THE SPAR WEB.  SUSPECT CRACKS CAUSED BY FATIGUE AND OR HARD LANDINGS.  (K)
