What was found

ELEVATOR TRIM WOULD NOT RIG PER TCD'S. AFTER MUCH WORK, ALL 4 CABLES WERE REPLACED. AFT LT CABLE WAS FOUND TO BE 2 INCHES LONGER THAN NEW ONE. ONE END WAS FABRICATED FOR A CUT DOWN AN 569-S2L, CUT OFF AND DRILLED TO ACCEPT CHAIN LINK. CHAIN, PN S2295-25-47, HAD BEEN SHORTENED TO ALLOW CABLE TENSION TO BE SET. AFTER INSTALLATION OF NEW PARTS, TRIM WAS RIGGED WITHOUT DIFFICULTY.
