Sometimes You Don't Even Need to Ask...
So do you think this seat rib goes in the scrap bin? 
This is what happens when the fly cutter bar catches a rib flange - don't let it happen to you! (fortunately - safety glasses, gloves, ear protection, etc....  ) And for the record, this was my mistake - Louise wasn't even in town.
At least I can still use the rib for fitting purposes until an airworthy one arrives. We're a long way from shooting any rivets on the assembly!

Just put some foam around it secured with duct tape so you don't get cut working around it.

No problem....
I don't see the problem. Just fill in the bad areas with your sharpie.

I'd say you still have a little more deburring to do, Paul...

I probably wouldn't want to use that either but I have some seat ribs with way less material than that one would have if you removed all the jaggies. The instructions that came with my Navaid Devices AP, years ago showed an underseat mounting option that was developed by Martin Sutter, I believe. You mount the servo and the push-rod amongst those seat ribs which requires removing a bunch of material.
When I pull a lot of Gs I think about the fact that my body on that seat at 6 Gs is more than the empty weight of the entire airplane at 1 G, engine and all. At inspections, I look at that area carefully. No problems, but the servo is mounted under the right seat, not directly under me.

I feel inadequate around all the real aircraft builders. I was just going to bubba fix it and the experts know the proper repair methods...deburr, buff out, etc.
This site is a constant learning source for me.

I thought maybe that was a zoomed in picture of a dimpled hole that wasn't match drilled to size. 
Sorry had to say it.

And when were you going to tell me????
Geez, I can't leave you home alone, can I? I'm sure glad that you're not hurt, dear. Guess I can add a seat rib to your Christmas gift wish list?
