## Discrepancy

DURING A VISUAL INSPECTION FOR RUDDER REMOVAL AND REINSTALLATION STRENGTHENING DOUBLER ANGLE LOCATED BELOW THE RUDDER, MECHANICAL STOP WAS NOTED TO BE SEVERELY CRACKED.  FAILURE OF MECHANICAL STOP COULD RESULT IN STOP BECOMING LODGED IN RUDDER BELLCRANK OR OVER TRAVEL OF THE RUDDER.  SUBMITTER RECOMMENDS VISUAL INSPECTION WITH FLASHLIGHT AND MIRROR AT NEXT OPPORTUNITY.
