I cannot justify extra FR5 bracket restraint from these old checks

My earlier bracket questions made me separate incoming fit-up from final acceptance. This FR5 proposal still has only clamped alignment, failed released dimensions and unexplained correction. Which gaps should stop us approving more restraint?

Treat extra restraint as a proposal, not an explanation. I would ask how the existing fixture located the bracket and how the released dimensions were supported and measured before anyone carries the correction into a new design.

Existing fixture has contact sketches. Released checks list dimensions but not supports. Incoming component checks are separate.

Can the incoming checks be linked to the brackets with failed released readings? My own review has the same temptation to treat separate sheets as one complete history

Anna's link matters. A stack of individually useful records can still fail to show what went into a particular weldment, or what happened between release and its final pass.

Only batch links, not individual bracket links. Final acceptance is after correction. I can establish the order, not the change.

Then keep the correction operation visible in the estimate. Its cause and amount are unknown; its existence is not

I would give the fixture designer those limits alongside the records. A planned traceable comparison can fill specific gaps later, but the current sheets do not justify a particular clamp change.
