Or several other corrosion related bulletins mentioned in Post 20. Its been my experience, if operating a Piper product around salt-laden areas or near urban-industrialized areas, an owner's decision not to address those known corrosion areas usually ends up in a similar result. Preventative/proactive maintenance can be everything in some circumstances. And as these legacy Pipers get even older once these areas are finally noticed it a bit late to simply repair the area.
