## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING A SCHEDULED INSP CRACKS WERE FOUND ON THE RT OTBD FLAP INBD TRACK (LOWER ATTACHMENT) BRACKETS. FURTHER INSP REVEALED THAT THE LWR 2 RIVETS ON EACH OF THE FWD ATTACHMENT BRACKETS WERE NO LONGER HOLDING, 3 RIVETS WERE SHEARED AND THE SECOND RIVET FROM THE BOTTOM ON THE OTBD BRACKET HAD PULLED THROUGH THE REAR SPARE CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE SPARE.
