## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING A ROUTINE INSPECTION, EXTERNAL WALK AROUND, IT WAS NOTICED THAT THE LT OTBD ELEVATOR HINGE ARM, PN C6TEM1016-33, LOWER ATTACHMENT POINT WAS DAMAGED, .3333 OF THE LOWER ATTACHMENT LUG WAS CRACKED OFF.  THE ATTACHMENT HARDWARE WAS INCORRECT, 2 EA AN4-7 BOLTS WERE INSTALLED, SHOULD BE AN525-416R14 SCREWS.  THE OTBD HINGE ARM WAS REPLACED AND CORRECT HARDWARE INSTALLED.
