I need advice on what to do about loose nails where the ribs connect to the front wings spars. During the current annual on my Cub it was discovered that some of the ribs had loosened in the connection to the front spar. Should I replace the spars or possibly reset the nails with oversize nails? If I have to replace the spars, wood or aluminum? Looks like the wings will have to be stripped and recovered in the process regardless. Any advice will be appreciated.
