You'll just have to fabricate new attach fittings for the rear spars. The forward sweep of the aft spar in the wing is different with the Diehl skins from the plans configuration, so the rear spar attach fittings don't line up properly. At least that was my experience. You really need nothing more than some straps of 4130 the same size as the ones called out in the plans and a drill press to drill the holes.
