## Discrepancy

THE LOCATION IS AT THE LEFT FORWARD ATTACHMENT ANGLE UNDER THE CABIN FLOOR AFT OF THE FUEL S ELECTOR. THE TOP BAR SUPPORTING THE BELLCRANK CENTRE BOLT WAS ALSO FOUND BROKEN. THE PART WAS NOT REPAIRABLE AND THEREFORE WAS REPLACED WITH NEW P/N 0513063-1. SUBMITTER NOTES THAT THE REPLACEMENT PART WAS FOUND TO BE MORE ROBUST THAN THE ORIGINAL.
