## Discrepancy

AFTER ENGINE REINSTALLATION, DURING ENGINE START, NO ROTATION WAS OBSERVED ON THE LT ENGINE.  FOUND STARTER/GENERATOR WIRE GROUNDING BRACKET NO LONGER ATTACHED TO THE  FUSELAGE SKIN.  THE BRACKET HAD OVERHEATED AND MELTED A HOLE IN THE FUSELAGE SKIN, APPROXIMATELY 1.8 INCH BY 2.25 INCH.  SB 45-53-10 WAS COMPLIED WITH IN 9/3.  THIS SB INSTALLS A NEW GROUNDING BRACKET AND IS SUPPOSED TO IMPROVED THE BOND FOR BETTER CONDUCTIVITY.  OPERATOR INSPECTED OTHER 45`S IN THEIR FLEET AND FOUND EVIDENCE OF FASTENER OVERHEAT ON AT LEAST 1 AIRCRAFT.
