Jeff's 727 rebuild thread

Yes Sir! The band anchor is ok. Check out the size of the gap between the band ends in my photo & compare it with yours. It looks for all the world as if your lower band lug is not properly engaged in the anchor strut.
I just verified that the band is correctly seated in the stationary strut....

Compare the gap on the new band verses the old band...
