What was found

KIT 101-4024-1S CONTAINS THE FORWARD LOWER WING BOLT, PL WASHER AND BARREL NUT FOR INSTALLATION ON BEECH 200 SERIES ARICRAFT. THE BARREL NUT ASSY PN 80691CF-1612 WAS OF IMPROPER TOLERANCES AND WOULD NOT FIT IN WING 'BATHTUB' FITTING.

SUBMITTER STATED HAVE RECEIVED 2 KITS WITH SAME DISCREPANCY.
