  • Rib Stitch Trim Tab?

    I've covered both trim tabs and am wondering if the little brace needs to be rib stitched. It's not a rib per se and with the thinness of the brace, I wonder if it would even be harmful to attempt it. I plan to put a piece of tape over it for reinforcement in any case. Thoughts?

    I did not stitch (or rivet) mine. It seems to be doing fine without. https://bearhawk4place.blogspot.com/...tabs.html#more

      The tape is enough.

        Mine aren't rib stitched. They have event got rock damage (minor tears) and still no worries. Seems to be very little force on them.

          I did not stitch mine. No problems whatsoever.
