## Discrepancy

WHILE PERFORMING 100-HOUR INSPECTION AND AD 80-11-04 (VERTICAL FIN ATTACH NUTPLATE), FOUND ATTACH BRACKET CRACKED IN 5 PLACES.  NUTPLATES WERE IN GOOD CONDITION.  BRACKET WAS REPLACED.  SUBMITTER SUGGESTS THE AREA SHOULD BE CLEANED VERY WELL BEFORE INSPECTION IS MADE AS THESE CRACKS ARE VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE.
