Fellow RVers,
I need to mount some stuff on wing ribs. But, the ribs have holes cut out
for lightening...and around each hole is stamped a modest raised/indented
circle in the sheet metal, for stiffening I suppose.
It is the raised side that causes problems when trying to attach something
flat there. I'd like to somehow squash or flatten a portion of the raised
circle, just enough so that the things I need to mount will fit flush on the
rib. Yes, some things must go onto the rib. No, some of this I cannot mount
on the other side.
What have RVers done to solve this little problem?
Thanks,
Ralph Finch
Davis, California

Hi Ralph,
The raised area around the holes are to stiffen and strengthen the rib. In mashing them flat you may distort the shape of the rib as well as weaken it. Before doing that I would suggest talking to one the techs at Van's.
