Top rudder rib cracked

[Dan schultz]

While installing my VG kit I found the RH rudder top rib cracked, p/n 1431002-13, rudder cap was loose. At least my parts airplane had a good one, cleaning, painting, and new nut plates will be installed. I think I will also use the fiberglass cap off the donor aircraft also, my plastic one not too good, amazing how the balance weight is loosely installed, and tightened in with the cap screws.
