I plan to plug the hole with a rivet, but it won't catch the rib at all. I started from the other end of the door that meets the fuselage skin and clamped, drilled and clecoed the skin to the two ribs, but was somewhat dismayed that the right rib even looked short and didn't capture the last rivet hole. Perhaps I'll see that it doesn't matter once I get everything else on the door fitted and drilled. I'm not sure a photo will show up on the list digest, but I'm attaching one anyway. ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 08:44:52 PM PST US From: bifft@xmission.com Subject: Re: RV-List: RV-8 Baggage Door Ribs Quoting Ken Brooks : > Has anyone else encountered a problem with the forward (right side) > baggage door rib - F-873B- being too short to capture the last hole > in the pre-punched outside door skin?

I just checked mine and the top rivet doesn't go into that rib, but instead into some angle that is also riveted to the hinge.
