Butt Rib Covering

[Dick B in KY]

Anyone have a good pic they are willing to share of how you covered the butt rib and headache bar area? I'm wanting to do it right the first time and thought someone might have a good idea.

Thanks,

I don't know that these would qualify as good photos - but it is what I have available. 2 attached.

We did not cover the buttrib as per the manual - instead an aluminum panel was fabricated to cover the fore and aft holes, a plexiglas panel (1/16) fabricated for the center to accomodate the fuel placard (note the center plexiglas is in the fuselage side of the buttrib to provide clearance for the sight gauge); and, a fill in aluminum, strip for the space between the buttrib and fuselage. This makes for a good view of the sight gauges.

Sincerely,
