[QUOTE="PSG-1, post: 322091, member: 6937"] I've always repaired broken ribs (square ones) by using a piece of square tube with one side cut away to form a channel, then slip it over the top, and weld both ends. You want it to extend at least 3-4" on each side of the break. For round profile ribs, take a piece of aluminum pipe, and use a vertical bandsaw or table saw to split the pipe in half, then use the half-round piece to plate over the broken rib, similar to the method described above.
