W17 Root Rib Installation - Forward Root Rib Right Hand Wing - Fitted the forward rib behind the attach angle and clamped it in place. I drilled a few holes for location. I then removed the angle and rib. I clecoed the rib to the angle in the correct position and drilled and updrilled the holes. I drilled the holes for -02 and -03 reinforcement angles. I then riveted all the parts for the forward root rib together. I then installed the forward rib by reinstalling the bolts hold it in place on the wing. I drilled the #40 pilot holes trhough the forward skin and forward root rib and clecoed them together.
