## Discrepancy

DURING ANNUAL INSPECTION, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE ELEVATOR DOWN STOP BRACKET WAS NOT FULLY INSTALLED FROM THE FACTORY.  EIGHT RIVETS ON THE LOWER SUPPORT ASSEMBLY WERE NOT INSTALLED.  THIS ALLOWED THE SUPPORT BRACKET TO BEND OUT OF PLACE AND AFFECTED TRAVEL AND ALSO SCORED THE BELLCRANK ASSEMBLY P/N 2612119-1.
