Narrative:
Maintenance replaced captain's eadi at ZZZ en route to xyz. I realized the turn and slip indicator was not installed for that eadi (copilot's was installed). I didn't think anything about it and wrote it up in the logbook. The next night, the xyz mechanic told me that not having a turn and slip indicator was a 'no-go' item and the company was self-reporting their failure to properly replace the eadi. Apparently the last step in the procedure is to replace the turn and slip indictor and the mechanic missed it.

Title: A DC8F WAS DISPATCHED WITH THE CAPT'S INCLINOMETER MISSING DUE TO NOT BEING INSTALLED AFTER EADI REPLACEMENT.
Narrative: MAINT REPLACED CAPT'S EADI AT ZZZ ENRTE TO XYZ. I REALIZED THE TURN AND SLIP INDICATOR WAS NOT INSTALLED FOR THAT EADI (COPLT'S WAS INSTALLED). I DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING ABOUT IT AND WROTE IT UP IN THE LOGBOOK. THE NEXT NIGHT, THE XYZ MECH TOLD ME THAT NOT HAVING A TURN AND SLIP INDICATOR WAS A 'NO-GO' ITEM AND THE COMPANY WAS SELF-RPTING THEIR FAILURE TO PROPERLY REPLACE THE EADI. APPARENTLY THE LAST STEP IN THE PROC IS TO REPLACE THE TURN AND SLIP INDICTOR AND THE MECH MISSED IT.
