## Discrepancy

(CAN) ON 'C' CHECK, THE MOUNTING BRACKET FOR THE FLAP VALVE BLOCK WAS FOUND CRACKED.  A COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE BRACKET WOULD CAUSE BROKEN HYDRAULIC LINES WITH LOSS OF FLUID. THE BRACKET WAS REPLACED WITH A NEW IMPROVED TYPE,-140.  THIS IS SECOND AIRCRAFT THIS SHOP HAS FOUND WITH THE PROBLEM.
