I agree, center over the rib itself.
Add more than they show. Under every pulley, brake masters, rudder pedals anywhere you might need to do WORK. Then only cut them out if you need to do work there.

(5) For an overlapped and doped seam on the perimeter of a wing (except a leading edge), perimeters of wing control surfaces, perimeters of empennage surfaces, and all areas of a fuselage, on aircraft with a Vne speed up to and including 150 mph, overlap the fabric 1 inch and cover with a finishing tape that is at least 3 inches wide, centered on the outside edge of the overlap seam.
Measure from the center line of the spine to the edge of the overlap. If it's close to 1 inch you will be happier using the 3" tape as it will blend in smoother with the fabric.View attachment 37930 So do I use a 2 or 3 inch tape down the spine?
Question for the Stewart System Experts
Your first question was for experts. I've used it and like it but am certainly not an expert. I would need to get out the book again when I use it the next time. It's different than nitrate dope on Irish linen which is what I'm used to.wow must not be many Stewart systems users
anyway I went buy the book and got to the second brush on coat of Eco fill

Cool seats! You making everything on this cub
Fun watching your build.
Nice job. Those look great! Envious of people with upholstery and sewing skills. Two inherited sewing machines in my shop, need to one day get results half as good as yours. Very nice.
