replacement, due to difficulties with supply of suitable corrosion-resistant bolts.  In March 1974 Piper issued SL No. 667A to authorise, as an alternative to corrosion-resistant bolts, new steel alloy bolts with repetitive inspections at intervals not to exceed 500 hours in service.

             In June 1974 the FAA issued AD 74-13-03 (amdt 39-1872) specifying inspection at intervals not to exceed 3 years or 500 hours, whichever occured first, as an alternative to replacement.  AD 74-13-03 nominated Piper SL No. 667A.

             Amendment 2 is raised to add the applicable serial number range for Piper PA-24-400 aircraft; to align the inspection interval with FAA AD 74-13-03; to identify the FAA AD on which AD/PA-24/32 is now based; and to add Piper SL No. 667A as the instructions for inspecting steel alloy bolts.
