## Discrepancy

(CAN) UPON ROUTINE INSP, IT WAS NOTED THAT THE ALTERNATOR MOUNTING BRACKET WAS CRACKED AT THE UPPER BEND RADIIUS CLOSE TO THE MOUNTING HOLE. THE BRACKET WAS ACTUALLY SEPARATED INTO TWO PIECES RESULTING FROM THE CRACK. THE ALTERNATOR OPERATION WAS NOT AFFECTED AS ITS MOUNTING REMAINED UNDISTURBED BY THE DEFECT AT THIS TIME.
