Does anyone have any pictures of their butt rib close outs? I see KitFox offers them for ~$50, but I'm pretty sure they are just simple pieces of aluminum. I'm just looking to see what others have done.
Thanks

KitFox SS7 built and flying and now on amphib floats!
Here's mine. I made them myself out of 0.012 aluminum, similar to the factory ones. You do need access to a bending brake to get good sharp bends where it fits around the square door frame tube.
I also included pics of my cuffs, also made from 0.012 aluminum. That was quite a fussy job.

Here are a few pics.. They do need to be trimmed and tweaked some.. as everyone sets the Butt Rib slightly different.

I bought some aluminum from home depot and made mine. Quite a bit of work.
I just used a 90° bent piece glued to rib and door frame.
