The spar area around the flap pulley was sanded and cleaned with acetone. The flap pulley bracket was then epoxied and riveted in place with Hysol epoxy and CCP-44 rivets. After a 30 minutes of curing time on the epoxy nice fillets were formed with a wet finger.

We also discovered in the manual that a false rib needed to be installed between Rib #1 and Rib#2 between the rear spar tube and the wing trailing edge aluminum strip. The rib was trimmed for a good fit and then a hole was drilled on both the top and bottom side of the tailing edge aluminum strip thru the false rib cap strip. Everything was disassembled and cleaned. The two holes were dimpled and a countersink was placed in the cap strip holes. Finally the false rib was epoxied and riveted in place using Hysol epoxy and countersunk aluminum rivets. After a 30 minute wait for the epoxy to start curing, a nice fillet was made in the epoxy. Hours: 2.5
