[C320-list] Engine Pod Cracks

[Bruce Stumpp]

Warren, 

One of the reasons I would consider replacing my pod is the new ones angle
the gauges up so you can read them easier.  With my current pod I have to
lean over to see the gauges and just about stand on my head to read the
engine hours.

I just noticed that the engine pod has 2 or 3 cracks in it on the curved aft
edge leading forward, as well as radial cracks around the engine shutoff.
Has anyone experienced this?  Is this the reason for replacing the pod?
