## Discrepancy

THE DIRECT CONTACT OF THE DIRECTIONAL GYRO WITH THE CONTROL COLUMN AS A RESULT OF THE SHOCK MOUNTED BRACKET COMING FREE FROM THE INSTRUMENT PANEL; POSSIBLY THE REASON WHY THE CONTROL YOKE WAS NOT ABLE TO MOVE BACK MORE THEN 1 INCH. THERE WAS IMPROPER HARDWARE ON THE LT MOUNT WHICH SHEARED FROM STUD AND MISSING HARDWARE ON THE RT SIDE.  ALLOWING THE BRACKET TO DROP DOWN; JAMMING THE CONTROL COLUMN, FWD.
