What was found

UPON DISASSEMBLY, FOUND A SPACER THAT HOLDS THE SOLENOID TO THE SIDE PLATE, TO BE A HOMEMADE PART HELD TOGETHER WITH ALUMINUM TAPE. THE PART WAS NOT A MFG PART, IT WAS MADE OF 2 NAS SPACERS TO ACHIEVE THE SAME LENGTH. THE CORRECT PN IS 11280-1. UPON LOOKING AT THE CHR AND PREVIOUS AUTHORIZED RELEASE, SAW THAT THE COMPANY THAT O/H THE HOOK LAST WAS USING AN OUT DATED MANUAL, THE CURRENT MANUAL IS TD-00-014, REV A.
