## Discrepancy

(CAN) THIS AIRCRAFT HAS HAD ALL THE AFT BULKHEAD AND HEAVIER SPINNER UPGRADES AND HAS HAD IT ALL ASSEMBLED IAW THE LATEST SB.  THE (FORWARD SPINNER BULKHEAD) IS CRACKED AGAIN WITH LESS THEN 50 HOURS TSN, CRACKS RADIATING .2500 TO 1 INCH FROM 3 OF THE 6 HOLES.   YOU HAVE TO LOOK VERY CARFULLY AS THE CRACKS RADIATING FROM THE PROP BOLT HOLES ARE VERY FINE AND HIDE UNDER THE FACTORY PRIMER. (TC NR 20061218019)
