## Discrepancy

(CAN) CARRIED OUT SEB 03-6 ON VERTICAL TAIL ATTACH BRKT AND STAB SPAR. SPAR WAS NOT CRACKED BUT THE STEEL ATTACH BRKT WAS CRACKED AROUND A RIVET HOLE FOR THE PREVIOUSLY INSTALLED NUT PLATES. AD PREVIOUSLY ALLOWED REMOVAL OF NUT PLATES.  THIS OPERATOR HAS SEEN AT LEAST TWO OTHER FAILURES OF THIS PART. A/C TT IS ~22,950 HOURS OPERATING IN AN FTU.  REPLACED PART WITH A USED, INSPECTED SERVICEABLE PART DUE TO NO PARTS SUPPORT FROM MFG.   NOTE: NO PICTURE, NOT ABLE TO TAKE A PICTURE FROM THE INSIDE OF THE BRACKET.
