## Discrepancy

REAR SEAT BOTTOM FRAME ATTACH POSITIONS DO NOT MATCH ALL 6 FUSELAGE MOUNTINGS BRACKET POSITIONS AND REQUIRES THE USE OF A 7 FOOT LONG 2 INCH BY 6 INCH LEVER TO FORCE ALIGNMENT AND INSTALL BOLTS.  SUGGEST MATCHING ALL PRODUCTION JIGS AND MUCH IMPROVED SUPERVISION AND INSPECTION PROCEDURES RATHER THAN ALLOWING PRODUCTION CREWS TO USE BRUTE FORCE TO INSTALL A COMPONENT.
