Folks,
The diagonals on the inboard rib was never designed to reinforce the leading
edge, they were placed there to keep the fabric from pulling the nose of the
inboard rib from pulling in when shrinking the fabric.
By slitting the fabric, there is amble room to replace these braces without
having to remove the fabric from the wing. The bow braces could be placed by
removing the fabric from the outboard rib out.
Bye adding 1/2 tubes there will do the same job and also reinforce the
leading edge. Two diagonals on the bow tip at 45 degrees from the spar will
keep everything in column.
