<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>Cheap fix.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>Is drill a hole through the rib so that a
coarse thread gyprok screw will be free.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>Then run glue between rib and soundboard, put
in the screw, it has an aggressive point, and grabs the soundboard, pulling
it back to the rib.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>Let dry, remove screw, and drill through the
board and install a dowel, if you want to be neat.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>I think I used the Scaff clamps years ago, but
I found the above method better.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
