What was found

IN AN ATTEMPT TO C/W ALLISION CEB-A-1323 INSTALLATION OF NEW SCROLL-TO-PC FILTER TUBE, FOUND NEW TUBE ASSY MISSED FITTING THE FLARES BY .350 INCH. DISTORTION OR STRETCHING OF THE PC FILTER-TO-GOVERNOR TUBE ASSY WOULD BE NEEDED TO INSTALL THE NEW TUBE AS THE FIT OF THE 6848471 TUBE ASSY (ORIGINAL) WAS PERFECT, REINSTALLED IT. ALSO, THE CEB-A-1323 DOES NOT MENTION WHICH END OF THE TUBE GOES TO THE PC FILTER ALTHOUGH IT IS ETCHED ON ONE B-NUT.
