The factory supplied replacement had a different length of throw, which required the hydraulic cylinder rod end to be let out to the witness hole, and it also threw the flap adjustments to the hinterlands. My suggestion is to SCRIBE your name on your old bracket and send back to verne for reinforcement at snowline with the request that it be returned to you. It took me several hours to change out the bracket, and I expected several more hours to retune my flap push rods adjustments. Since it encroached the witness hole, the whole effort was for nil, and the only other option was to redrill the cylinder hinge bracket in the gearbox while it sat in the plane....not my idea of fun at all. The problem with requesting your own bracket back is that your plane is going to be sitting AOG for about two weeks or more while the mod is done.
