Use the rib for a cut line and remove the rib / everything aft of that and you have fresh area to rivet it in. Welding old contaminated thin aluminum has been known to be a) pain in the * , b) prone to crack. That stuff was heat treated. Finding a 10 foot long oven to re-treat it might be a trick.</p></blockquote><p></p>
