My RV-6 has ~140 hours and doing the 2nd annual inspection I noticed cracks in the carb plate around the carb bolt holes. Van's suggested I make a new plate and perhaps shorten the fiberglass extension to the inlet scoop to reduce vibration between the engine and cowling working against the plate.
Has anyone experienced this and is there any mods I should consider to perhaps strengthen the plate as long as I'm making a new one?
