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,

Hi Ralph,
Here's how I mounted the Gretz pitot controller PC board on my RV-8. Worked pretty good:
