## Discrepancy

(ECPR) THE LT AND RT BATTERY BOX SUPPORT ANGLE ASSEMBLIES, PNS 35846-02 & 35846-03, WERE FOUND CRACKED JUST INBD, TOWARDS THE BATTERY BOX, OF THE BOTTOM FIREWALL ATTACH HOLES. THE CRACKS WERE BETWEEN THE ACTUAL HOLE AND THE START OF THE CURVED PORTION OF THE ANGLE. THESE CRACKS DID NOT GO THROUGH THE HOLES THEMSELVES.
