Wherever you send the mount, be sure they have the appropriate jig. I'm not sure how a crack like that would just appear, even with the cracked stringer, unless the mount was stressed.

Re: Strange rattle under instrument panel
I'm thinking that too. It seems more likely the cracked stringer was caused by the engine mount rather than the other way around. It was sent to AWI the first time. We'll be in contact with them and depending upon what happens we may just opt for a new mount.
