## Discrepancy

(CAN) ON SEPTEMBER 2, 2008, DURING A ROUTINE 100 HOUR INSPECTION THE ALTERNATOR MOUNTING BRACKET WAS FOUND TO BE CRACKED ON THE INSIDE RADIUS OF THE BRACKET RIGHT NEXT TO 1 OF THE 2 MOUNTING BOLT HOLES. THIS WAS THE SECOND CRACKED BRACKET FOUND ON THIS ACFT AND BOTH CRACKS HAVE BEEN LOCATED IN THE IDENTICAL LOCATIONS.
