Tierra wings and Poly Fiber Sails

I just bought a Tierra I and would like to replace the old sails using
Poly-fiber. My problem is with the wing ribs. The ribs "fit" in sleeves on
the sails and do not attach directly to the front and rear spar. In order
to use the Poly Fiber system, I need the ribs to actually attach to the
front and rear spar.. Any suggestions, experience, know who attaches
lightweight ribs, they are a light weight "plastic" bow, to a front and rear
spar? I suspect I could design small tube and flange connectors but would
be more comfortable with some system that has already been proven. Thanks,
direct email to emcknighttrash@se. is okay and you can take the
"trash" out of the email address.

I got a reply from Rans showing a pretty cool rib clip attachment. The idea
about the bottom rib sounds like a good idea. As I progress, I will look at
the CGS ribs also. Next step will be to measure the distance between the
front and rear spar.
Thanks for the response, more ideas the better.
