Adding Cabane Strut

[TxSkyBolt]

Ed reminded me that there was an improvement which added a cabane strut. I found the procedures in the newsletter but have a question. Can I just remove the bolts from the spar attach plates, put the strut in place, insert the new bolts and torque? When I remove the bolts, will the wing shift atop the cabane causing thealignment of the bolt hole to shift?
Also, the newsletter shows the distance between the spar attach plates as 20.5" and mine is closer to 20.25" Is there an issue with this?

best regards,
Brad
