I can't see the pics either.
Are you talking about the internal powder-coated pieces? When I received my QB fuselage, I was very concerned about what appeared to be cracks in these pieces, but it turns out that they were intentionally split to better nest in the aluminum angle they're fastened to, and when they were powder-coated, that split appears as a crack.
I don't have a pic of mine at the ready, but if I find one I'll post it.
Edit: Aha! Here's a pic, though not a great one. On the lower mount piece, on the section that extends rearward (with bolts on the horizontal surface and rivets on the vertical), the split is in the vee of this angle. Van's assured me this is per design. All four mounts are built this way. If the crack is elsewhere, then there is cause for concern.

Thats funny. The guy doing my Static, pitot and Transponder check said the same thing. I spent a few worried minutes looking at the plans.
They are split from Van's but it sure looks like a crack.
