A few parts that we were waiting for (small nut plates) finally arrived, so we installed the rest of the fabric backing plates on the right wing. We bent the fabric bracket for the front lift-strut bracket slightly so that it matched the profile of the ribs. We noticed a little bit of interference with one leg of the bracket, so we filed the slot in the fabric plate slightly to eliminate the interference.
As usual, mating areas were abraded, cleaned, and then two part Hysol epoxy was applied. Then the fabric backing plates were riveted firmly in place. Hours: 2.0
