Hi Dave.

Your installation of the extra ribs sounds good. Just as my drawing would show.
Further to my last thread,a further extract from my notes.

The PFA felt that this was a weak erea (even though Mark Brown had done more load test in this area, and was happy with the design) because in an accidental overspeed of the aircraft (with the sleek design of the Pulsar, this can happen) and, full down flaps, the attachment point of the clevis fork could warp or flex.
