Just documenting here for those thinking they don't need to strengthen this area I'm on Condition Inspection #2, 592hrs and found this ugly crack through almost the entire baffle flange.
Talked to vans on the phone and we agreed that cutting the flange and adding a piece of 0.125x1x1 angle would be a good fix. So today I drilled out the rivets.
