Brief Description:  SB 14-01-31 part 7, match-drilling and riveting th

Once I knew the flange angles were bent correctly, I re-clamped them into place at the spar/rib junction, C-clamped FIRMLY into place, then match-drilled the flange angle through the existing forward spar and main rib rivet holes, clecoing every hole.

Image 2: Disassemble, debur, prime, then rivet the rib flanges to the ribs.

Image 3: I then cleco'd the forward and main ribs back into places, riveted the ribs to the forward and aft spars, then riveted all the skins and nut plates...the stabilizer is reassembled.

I love the fact that this assembly came right back together. Everything fit, just as it did before. Also, the doubler plates give a clear sign of added strength to the forward spar.
