    Sorry, I don't have a pic. The bracket was already mounted on mine. I used a piece of stainless steel plate and added it to the bracket down through the fabric. Maybe you could fabricate new longer brackets?

    Jerry i check if it's fit with more longer bracket when i put the wing back to the aircraft...

    Now i fit the false ribs under the wing were the lift strut bracket are and he have a other problem ,,,,the hole will be in fabric to, maybe it is better to dont put any false ribs in this place.???
    there a pic..

    The bolt hole where the lift strut attaches on mine is right at the level of the fabric similar to yours. The fabric is pushed up a little around the nut. Maybe someone else can chime in with more info or possibly post a pic.

    Stole this picture from Danny Powell's build photos - http://www.teamkitfox.com/Forums/alb...pictureid=1368

    I think these replace the older style strips you may have already installed. I believe you sandwich the rib between two of the brackets. More strength with the rivets through the rib. However, I am not sure if you still need the flat strips on the bottom for the rivets on the bottom.
