My '49 170a has a corrosion problem discovered by my A&P at annual. He installed a needed rudder bellcrank. He noticed two rivits came loose. Investigation led him to find beaded or sandy corrosion where the reinforcement bar meets the rib. He is looking for a 0533000-12 Rib Assembly - #1 rudder; 533000-6 rib- #1 rudder; 0533000-8 Reinforcement - #1 rudder rib. He has a some emails and calls out to suppliers.
I haven't seen the problem area...just word of mouth of the problem he found.

Any suggestions to suppliers for these parts?

Keep 'em flying,
