Thanks Drac!

No problem.

That looks like it's taken quite a whack. My worry there would be that there is de-lamination on the inside. Does the area feel soft at all?

As discussed in another thread about carbon, you could do a basic tap test on the area and listen for any change. The problem is there is that that area has quite a few changes in section and shape which may affect what you hear. Worth a try though, before you start stripping paint and and looking for your local NDT firm 😉

its not soft in the area at all.

Could just be filler cracking.

This is what i thought at first as its right where the direct mount is.
