## Discrepancy

ON THE BOTTOM SIDE OF THE FOOT PEDAL CONTROLS, ON BOTH THE RT AND LT SIDES, THERE IS A BRACKET THAT IS PART OF THE FOOT PEDAL BELLCRANK ASSY, THE LT BRACKET PN 350A21136324, HAS A CRACK IN IT. THE RT BRACKET, SAME PN, CRACKED ALL THE WAY THROUGH WHICH ALLOWED THE FOOT PEDAL BELLCRANK PN 350A27-1170-00, TO GO OUT OF ALIGNMENT AND CONTACT THE SURROUNDING SUPPORT STRUCTURE THUS CAUSING A .25 INCH GROOVE INTO THE BELLCRANK. REMOVED BRACKETS AND REPLACED WITH SERVICEABLE BACKETS AND ALSO REMOVED AND REPLACED THE BAD BELLCRANK WITH A SERVICEABLE BELLCRANK AND RETURNED AC TO SERVICE. THIS AC HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY CONVERTED TO LT PILOT IN CHARGE IAW MFG MODIFICATION. THIS BRACKET IS WHAT HOLDS THE CENTERING ROD FOR THE FOOT PEDAL BELLCRANK IN THE FOOT PEDAL FLIGHT CONTROLS. (K)
