It's been really quiet from those who were looking for a company to make them. Anyone have status?

Hope you find some , I was not able too 4 years ago when I did my wing, There was a person who uses the forum that did have some a few months ago, but they may be gone, do a search and you may come up with his name on the forum, there are alternatives to rib clips that can be legal, rib stitching , rivets and pk screws, I went with the rivets and obtained my paper work Thru Terry Boden a DER representative also uses this form, not all that expensive for the entire job. Aeronca used the rivets on there early airplanes.They are not that uncommon. And despite what people say they will not damage a rib when removed carefully, not anymore that pulling a length of rib clips out of a rib in one pull.

Might have been me that you are thinking of.

I had several rolls but sold all that I had.

Rib lace them, there is a 337 in the tech references section. The 337 is complete and fairly current, just copy the data, submit it to your local fsdo for a field approval using the one I did as acceptable data. I hate rib lacing but I also realize it does the least amount of damage to the ribs when the aircraft is recovered. I also did a 337 for Marson rivets, but when you drill them out, you risk damaging the ribs. YMMV good luck, Tim
