## Discrepancy

(CAN) THE COTTER PINS RECIEVED FROM AIRCRAFT PARTS INTERNATIONAL ARE FAULTY AROUND THE HEAD. THE COTTER PINS ARE MANUFACTURED BY WESTERN WIRE. WE RECIEVED THEM IN MARCH 2003. WHEN I CALLED THE SUPPLIER AND EXCHANGED LOT NUMBERS, HE HAD A DIFFERENT LOT NUMBER OF COTTER PINS THAT DID THE SAME THING, BREAK AT THE LOOP.
