Introduction

The problem that is identified below does not have a known solution. Until a solution is identified, use the solution below.

Problem

Due to the constrained supply of 443-5940 Turbine Inlet Bellows, the large, painted on, arrow that indicates the direction of air flow is being temporarily removed from the part. Removing this step in the manufacturing process will improve on delivery times for getting bellows into the parts system. Parts that are received with or without the large arrow are acceptable for use.

Solution

There is still a small arrow that indicates the correct direction of air flow. It can be found with the supplier markings near the flange of the bellows.
