## Discrepancy

WHILE PERFORMING A RIGHT WING SLAT LUBE IAW WC 27B2114.  NOTICED ALUMINUM MATERIAL ON THE SLAT CABLES. ON FURTHER INVESTIGATION,  THE SLAT CABLE RUN NR 80 FOUND MISROUTED AND WORN INTO THE RIGHT WING RIB AND TWO SLAT DRUM BRACKETS. THE RIB WAS BLENDED IAW EA 8-2780-70338881 AND BOTH BRACKETS SLAT CABLE RUN NR 80 WERE CHANGED.
