## Discrepancy

(CAN) THE STRAIGHT FLOATS ARE FITTED TO ACFT.  THE FWD FLYING WIRE ATTACH BRACKET WAS FOUND CORRODED. THIS ACFT HAS STAINLESS FLYING WIRES AND CLEVIS ENDS FITTED FROM THE MFG. IT APPEARS NO CORROSION PREVENTATIVE PRODUCTS WERE USED ON ASSEMBLY. THE DISSIMILAR METALS AND HIGH STRESS AREA CONTRIBUTED TO THE ACCELERATED CORROSION. PART REPLACED WITH NEW UNIT.
