## Discrepancy

(CAN) THE FORWARD ELEVATOR BELLCRANK, CABLE LOCK TAB, WAS FOUND TO BE INTERFERING WITH THE LANDING GEAR MOTOR RELAY OUTBOARD MOUNTING BOLT, PREVENTING THE BELLCRANK FROM CONTACTING ITS MAX NOSE UP STOP (ELEVATOR SECONDARY STOPS). THE RELAY MOUNTING BOLT WAS EXCESSIVELY LONG, AND MOUNTED HEAD REARWARD SUCH THAT ITS ASSOCIATED NUT/WASHER WAS CATCHING ON THE CABLE LOCK TAB INSTALLED ON THE ELEVATOR BELLCRANK. THIS IS THE SAME CONDITION THAT WAS DISCOVERED ON ASSOCIATED SDR 20030416002.
