## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING INSP OF BRAKE-PEDAL RETURN SPRINGS, WE NOTICED THAT SPRINGS ON RT SIDE WERE VERY LOSE, NO TENSION ON THEM. WE INVESTIGATED FURTHER TO FIND THAT DISTANCE BETWEEN SPRINGS HOLDING BRACKET & BRAKE-PEDAL POS TRANSDUCER SUPPORT WAS NOT SAME ON RT & LT SIDE OF A/C. FIG.1 ATTACHED. DISTANCE BETWEEN SPRINGS HOLDING BRACKET & THE TRANSDUCER SUPPORT IS 5.250 INCH ON LEFT SIDE & 5.813 INCH ON RT SIDE. WE VERIFIED ON A 2ND A/C OF SAME TYPE TO FIND A DIMENSION OF 5.250 ON BOTH LT & RT SIDES.WE STRONGLY SUSPECT THAT RT SPRING HOLDING BRACKET WAS NOT POSED & INST PROPERLY AT MANUFACTURE:
