I had problems bending the aluminum leading edge to fit. I realized that on order to manhandle the leading edge around the nose ribs they had to first be secured. I used 90o angle formed from scrap al secured with small nuts and bolts fro the top of rib to web of the spar. I then alone, help would have been good, used tiedowns and long peice of wood to rachet the skin around the ribs. You must first cut the skin to length as it might interfere with the straps.
