Does anyone have any photos of repairs to the wing walk reinforcement panel inside of the wing? I discovered a crack at the end of the beaded area on the panel next to the wing rib inside of the wing. This seems to be a common occurrence in Cherokees having 3000 hours or more.

Some posts have said this is an "easy" repair - not unless someone like Piper has a repair kit available!

I'm looking for ideas on using either a stamped out section from another panel or a totally different approach in a gusset to tie the reinforcement panel in to the wing rib. I really don't want to remove and replace the entire skin panel.
