Morris cant ribs

ticonderoga

"Just one more"
I need to replace the center cant rib in my Morris that was chewed by squirrels and have never replaced one before. Is there a process or system that works better than others? I was thinking about making a form to bend it over. Is this over kill? Can I just steam and bend it in place, then tack? Once it is bent, how do you attach the bottom of the rib to the stem as it was attached from underneath with 4 1" steel nails originally. Thanks for any advise.
