Yesterday after completing an oil and filter change I took some time for inspection and found this:
The crack is just under the top weld at the rear of the plate that attches the bolt tube. The left side has progressed a little more than the right.
The plane has done about 220 hours but most of this has been off grass strips some of which are quite bumpy. No hard landings that I know of.
Here in the UK there have been quite a number of mounts cracking. I'm going to check out what others have done and add reinforcing if necessary.
