After removing clamps from repair, I decided that the rib is structurely stronger than the original rib. I will check for balance after finishing the stabilator before covering to make sure the weight difference doesn't require the addition of the beef up on #3 rib. I'm sure I don't need to sandwich #8 rib with the 1/8" ply like originaly planned and doubt I will need to add the same material to #3 rib since the repair is very light.
