## Discrepancy

RELAY CAME LOOSE FROM SOCKET.  RELAY IS MOUNTED UPSIDE DOWN IN AIRCRAFT.  NO WAY TO ATTACH IN HOLDER.  NEEDS SOME TYPE OF POSITIVE LOCKING.  IF SWITCH COMES LOOSE ON ONE SIDE, GEAR WILL NOT GO UP.  IF SWITCH COMES LOOSE ON THE OTHER SIDE, GEAR WILL NOT GO DOWN.  FACTORY ADVISED TO INSTALL AND WRAP TAPE AROUND IT.  NEEDS A BETTER POSITIVE LOCKING DEVICE.
