## Discrepancy

WHILE INSTALLING KIT, PN 766-253 TO COMPLY WITH AD 93-05-10 AND SB 955, FOUND THAT WHEN NOSE GEAR WAS FULLY RETRACTED, THE INSTALLED FITTING (PN 02570-2) WAS PLACING A STRAIN ON THE SUPPORT ASSY (PN 02867-2) THAT WAS ALSO INSTALLED IN THE KIT.  AFTER CONTACTING PIPER, FOUND THAT SOME OF THE FIRST KITS DELIVERED MAY HAVE HAD A FITTING THAT WAS INCORRECTLY MILLED.  A NEW FITTING )PN 02570-2) WAS INSTALLED AND THIS CORRECTED THE PROBLEM.
