I'll bet that as on the RS Spyder and the Dome that only certain parts are fully CFC. Anything that near intense heat or stress points will at the least have some aluminum or steel reinforements.

That goes without saying and is standard practice. You could never have a spinning bit of metal bearing on a carbon surface. Point is you have the added problem of metal to carbon bonding, the differing expansion/contraction rates when heated/cooled on top of keeping the carbon not even close to T sub g temps.
