## Discrepancy

DURING ANNUAL INSPECTION, 2 MISSING PULL-TYPE RIVETS WERE FOUND MISSING ON THE LT OTBD ELEVATOR HINGE ASSY PN-0432165-1 ALONG WITH A WORN BUSHING, PN-0432003-1 AT SAME LOCATION.  ALSO NOTED, WERE THE 2 MISSING HOLES REQUIRED TO BE DRILLED DURING MFG TO RECEIVE THESE FASTENERS.  HOLES WERE DRILLED THROUGH FIRST LAYER OF SKIN AND NOT THE SECOND LAYER.  MFG WILL BE ADVISING ME ON APPROVAL FOR METHOD AND MATERIAL TO CORRECT PROBLEM.  STRUCTURES REP MENTIONED THAT DWG AT HIS DISPOSAL WERE NOT SHOWING ANYTHING.
