Some wing rib reinforcing angle hole mismatches

With help from TAF, the following issues have been identified:

1 x WG-ANG-004-R-A- Rib 9 right bottom skin support angle - missing - very similar looking (and mislabelled) Rib 6 WG-ANG-002-R-A-0 supplied by mistake)

1 x WG-ANG-011-R-A- Rib 8 right rear spar mounting angle - missing - very similar looking (and mislabelled) Rib 9 WG-ANG-014-R-A-0 supplied by mistake)

I am requesting replacements from TAF.

I will fabricate the following items from 0.81mm 6061-T6. TAF have confirmed that the mismatch persists as this part has not been revised. I prefer to re-fabricate rather than drill out and possibly upsize rivets:

1 x WG-ANG-001-R(L)-A- Rib 4 right(left) bottom skin support angle - frontmost two holes match with skin, rearmost two holes mismatch by up to 1.5mm

A response from TAF suggest these two parts still have this issue. If this is so I will fabricate my own from 0.81mm 6061-T6
