To be totally honest with you you should be just fine making a bracket and gluing to the stock ribs.
Are the ribs in this plane comletely solid with no lightening holes in them at all? There is no way to run a wire through the ribs right now??

1st: The ribs are NOT strong at all, just storing in the cellar for about 8 or 9 months caused me to have to repair a number of ribs.
2nd: Yes they are solid with no lightening holes. No way to run a wire, but that may be unnecessary (see next post below)
