## Discrepancy

WHILE INSPECTING THE FORWARD WING ATTACH FITTINGS, A GAP WAS NOTICED BETWEEN THE 27-22123 WING ATTACH FITTING AND THE 27-22018-001 BELT FRAME AT FS 276.15 ON THE LT SIDE.  THIS IS THE AFT BELT FRAME FOR THE FORWARD ATTACH FITTING.  6 OF THE 10 FASTENERS HOLDING THE FITTING TO THE BELT FRAME FAILED (APPEAR TO BE BROKEN IN TENSION AND COMPLETELY SEPARATED).
