## Discrepancy

(CAN) TTAF: 602.4 HRS. OCCURENCE FOUND DURING THE FIRST 600 HOUR INSPECTION.  THE LH FUEL SELECTOR BOWDEN CABLE IN THE LH WING HAS WORN INTO ITS MOUNTING BRACKET. THERE IS ALOT OF PLAY (APPROX 1/4 INCH) NOW BETWEEN THE CABLE AND THE BRACKET. VIBRATION IS CAUSING THE WEAR OF THESE PARTS TO ACCELERATE.  LATER IN THE INSPECTION IT WAS FOUND THAT THE RH PROP CONTROL CABLE ALSO HAD ADVANCED SIGNS OF WEAR IN IT MOUNTING BRACKET DUE TO ENGINE VIBRATION.  BOTH CABLES TOOK THE MAJORITY OF THE WEAR, AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.  ONCE REMOVED IT WAS FOUND THAT THE BOWDEN CABLES HAD EXCESSIVE WEAR.
