Repairing wing ribs.

just wondering if anybody has any experience repairing wing ribs in the old style wings, I have a flip over I'm fixing and there are two ribs with minor damage on the top cap strip. Can they be repaired like a Piper? I'm a A&P just new to husky's. . Thank you

The wing front and center ribs are made of a very mild aluminum. You can make a fiberglass mould from a good rib. Then press the damaged one inside and bring it with a small hammer to the shape it should be.
