AT SOME POINT, THE CRACKS WERE STOP DRILLED CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE CARRY-THROUGH CASTING.  SUBMITTER RECOMMENDS WHEN C/W ME84-12, THAT BASIC SHEET METAL PRACTICES SHOULD BE FOLLOWED.  IT IS SUBMITTER'S FIRM BELIEF THAT THIS DAMAGE WAS DONE BY IMPROPER PRACTICES USED.  TIME SINCE MR84-12 IS 3,582.8 HOURS.
