Apparatus 150 for aiding the joining of a resilient component to a structural assembly. A resilient component may comprise an aircraft rib 118 and the structural assembly may comprise spars 14,15 wing covers (12,13 fig 2) and stiffeners. The apparatus for aiding its joining comprises a rigid temporary reinforcement structure 150 akin to a strongback. The temporary reinforcement structure has one or more datum attachment features 175a,175b for releasably attaching the temporary reinforcement structure to corresponding datum attachment features 130a,130bof the resilient component. The temporary reinforcement structure also has one or more datum features 170,170a,170b that comprise photogrammetry targets and which are associated with the datum attachment features. The datum attachment features, and the datum features of the resilient component have a common datum, and the temporary reinforcement structure is configured to rigidly support the resilient component during assembly of the resilient component to a structural assembly by means of a robotic effector 162.
