The base rib assembly has front longitudinal lugs (130), rear longitudinal lugs (140), and opposing middle longitudinal lugs (150, 155). Front clevises (220) corresponding to the front longitudinal lugs are secured to frame members of the fuselage of the aircraft and each has a first, second, and third mounting arms. Rear clevises (245) corresponding to the rear longitudinal lugs are secured to frame members and each has a first, second, and third mounting arms. Middle clevises (270) corresponding to the middle longitudinal lugs are secured to frame members and each has only first and second mounting arms. Retaining members (70) inserted through mounting holes in each longitudinal lug and mounting holes in each corresponding clevis secures the vertical stabilizer to the fuselage.
