Mike,

Looks like a neat installation. I do understand the need to put the stress over a couple of rib bays or more and I was assuming on glassing the center section to do this (should have specified that) and incorporating the dowel sections in the rear. One of the reasons for the dowel was that the center of the wing has a fairing on top of it and the bolts would have to go thru that to press against the wing surface and be deeply countersunk; I'd have to build some kind of tube from the surface of the fairing down to the wing, kind of like a retract wheel well.

Your drawing (picture?) does give me something to think about though; I may do the ply Tee from LE to spar and less glassing. Whadayuh think?

Thanks,
Joel
