I know I saw the service bulletin for the ribtail reinforcements somewhere on here. It had drawings and measurements. Can someone point me to it?

This picture was posted by High Country back in August 2012. I can't find his original post, but I had emailed the post to myself because the pictures and his workmanship were great and his description very detailed. PM me your email and I'll forward the email so you'll have all the pictures and the description of how he did the work.IMG_0223.thumb.JPG.90ed3e1deac72a8038f6b

Service bulletin was for a Kitfox.  Their rib is a little bit different on the back end.  JImChuk

Maybe this helps someone, I chose to go around the trailing edge. One file has the notch in it and the other file does not. The end leaves material to be fitted to each ribtail, I found that each ribtail must be fitted seperately mainly because making the 90 degree bend perfectly is difficult.
