## Discrepancy

DURING ROUTINE ANNUAL INSP, THE RT FWD HORIZ STABILIZER ATTACH BRACKET WAS FOUND CRACKED.  SB87-2 CALLS FOR KIT 210-118 TO BE INSTALLED.  THE NEW FITTINGS PN 21320191 ARE BEEFED UP AND THE BULKHEAD IS ALSO.  DUE TO THE CRITICAL NATURE OF THIS ATTACH FITTING, IT SHOULD BECOME MANDATORY TO REPLACE THE OLDER FITTINGS WITH THE NEWER TYPE OR AT MINIMUM, A DYE PENETRANT INSP BE CARRIED OUT AT 100 HR INTERVALS.
