Model a roof rib question

[reggiedog]

HI:

Does anybody know about the center metal roof rib and how to put the wood roof rib inside of it.

The reason why I'm asking is because I'm replacing all of the original roof ribs and I'm to the metal rib but the original wood roof rib has a holes where it should bolt into of each side of the metal roof rib.

But there's a problem because there's a rivet on the metal rib where the hole should be to bolt it into the wood roof rib so the question is how the wood rib go's into the metal roof rib and how does it bolt to it.

And does it or if it just lay's in there how do you attach the fabric to it there's only one hole in the center of the metal rib I have the metal rib so the arch is up like it should be.

And why is there two bolt holes on each end of the original wood roof rib and now on the replaced one that I made to fit that metal roof rib and there all cut as each size of the original ribs were cut to the length of each roof rib was cut to hight and the width as the originals where cut also.

But if you know how to do this a pic would be great and how to do this little problem cause I have NO clue as to what or how to do it I took it out of the car NOT to long ago but just don't remember as to how it all go's back together.

I have all of the other wood roof ribs in but the metal one is still out cause I have no clue how to put it into the metal and bolt it in there like it should be done.

Thanks any help would be greatly appreciated
