## Discrepancy

DURING 150 HOUR INSPECTION MECHANIC FOUND SIGNIFICANTLY FRAYED RUDDER INTERCONNECT CABLE. UPON INSTALLATION OF NEW CABLE AND NEW PULLEY IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT A PREVIOUS REPAIR ON A PULLEY BRACKET HID THE ORIGINAL CABLE GUARD PIN HOLE. PRIOR MAINTENANCE INSTALLED THE CABLE GUARD PIN IN A DIFFERENT HOLE IN THE BRACKET CAUSING THE CABLE TO WEAR ON THE PIN. CORRECTIVE ACTION-DRILLED ORIGINAL HOLE IN REPAIR BRACKET AND INSTALLED PIN IN CORRECT LOCATION. EDGE DISTANCE MAINTAINED ON ALL FASTENERS. OPS CHECK GOOD. NO DEFECTS NOTED.
