## Discrepancy

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.
