T-00712A-2 Platenut Timing

[chum53]

Good evening!

Currently assembling the wing skeleton for the -8 and I am wondering if there’s any reason not to attach the platenuts for the T-00712A-2 angle to the aft side of the main spar right now, when access is easy, rather than waiting until the manual suggests, after the main ribs are already riveted in place.

Any stoppers I’m not considering?

Thanks!

Van’s Builder Support says to go ahead with my intent to attach platenuts before ribs.
