I have a Thread Check'r that it will screw right into, but with a little blue painter's tape on the rib I don't think there will be much advantage. I really have a lot more confidence in the end result if I do the job "in place". The only way that shaping it somewhere else would work is to install it in the rib, make a mark as to orientation, then remove it and screw it into the "fixture" at the same orientation. Even then I am afraid I might miss it a bit. Doing it in place means I can look "downrib" as I work....................invaluable.

Thanks for the idea, craigd. That's what makes this forum such a great place.
