## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING AN UNSCHEDULED FWD TUBULAR FRAME, BIRDCAGE REPLACEMENT, THE RUDDER STOPS ON THE RECEIVED REPAIRED TUBULAR STRUCTURE WERE FOUND TO HAVE BEEN WELDED .5" FWD OF THE DWG LOCATION.  IT WAS ALSO NOTED THAT THE FUEL SELECTOR CABLE GUARD WAS FOUND WELDED ON THE WRONG SIDE.  BOTH ITEMS WERE REPAIRED IAW THE APPLICABLE DWG C2FS, 3147A, SB 2/49, AND PSM 1-2-3 TO RECTIFY THE DEFECTS.
