## Discrepancy

THE LT I/B AND O/B FLIGHT SPOILER CENTER HINGE ASSEMBLIES WERE BOTH WORN ON THE OUTBOARD FACE OF THE I/B LUG.  THE BUSHINGS WERE REMOVED AND THE LUGS WERE SPOTFACED AS WELL AS LOCALLY BLENDED TO REMOVE DAMAGE.  THE I/B HINGE FITTING WAS SPOTFACED .75 DEEP ON THE O/B FACE OF THE I/B LUG AND THE HOLE WAS OPENED UP TO .830.  ON THE O/B HINGE, THE O/B FACE OF THE I/B LUG WAS SPOTFACED 0.080 DEEP, BUT THE HOLE WAS NOT ENLARGED.
