Butt Rib question

[Danh]

I'm fitting the butt ribs on the 7SS
Is it normal to have such a tight fit and have to cut the butt fit brackets to make it work? Also the aft end of the rib covers 1/2 of the wing mounting bolt? Seam abnormal compared to other photos I've seen online
The #1 rib is set 35 1/2 " from #3 rib center to center and all ribs of the quick build wing are in the proper location. I see some people are reversing the rib to the other side with the bigger lop facing inward, is this working ok? Any regrets
Thanks

When building my SS7 I found it best to - Swap the ribs from side to side, this will give more edge distance on the overhead glass when installing (less chance of breakout), screws and nuts to the inside. It is normal to have to trim the tail of the butt rib to clear the aft bolt.

I agree with Dick.

It sure fits better that way

I also did the same.

Noticed that the factory is bolting the butt ribs to the mounting brackets; considering this option. My assumption is that these do not need to be structural and the AN526 series bolts would work fine in this situation? Curious as to thoughts on this?
