## Discrepancy

(CAN) INSTALLATION OF FINLETS DEVIATED FROM DWG CAUSING CORROSION WHICH LED TO THE HORIZONTAL STABILIZER AFT SPAR REPLACEMENT.  DWG 6R1-2017, 8000 SERIES FLOATS, THE AFT ATTACHMENT FOR THE FINLET CALLS FOR A NUTPLATE NAS696 BUT A MS21044N3 NUT WAS INSTALLED IN ITS PLACE.  TWO OTHER ACFT IN FLEET HAVE SAME PROBLEM SO FAR & THE ENGINEER WHO REPLACED THE SPAR SAYS THE WHOLE FLEET IS THE SAME.
