If the relevant manufacturers inspections had been carried out by a competent person most of the those examples would have been found without a SIDS programme. For those items that may not be picked up on an inspection checklist, my experience has been that any engineer worth his salt will know from experience to look for these issues as well.
Omg. These are just a few pics. Some examples of what is out there to be found.
You don't wish to do SBs or manufacturers insp you wish to do Schedule 5. Yet you expect that everything is looked at. Well it can't. You can't have your cake and eat it as well. Oh I'll just de rivet this wing to have a look. Oh and we won't charge you as well because you expect that as well.
Point is if these were old cars they be off the road
