You will be very happy that you bought the pins from Van's if you do. The welded
on tab makes it much easier to remove the pins and keeps them very securely.
Just using an eyelet to hold the tip of the pin is not nearly as nice, IMHO.
YMMV

I'd think they are more than just accessories. I understand that they weld on
a retainer for these "accessories", but one would think that it would be supplied
in the kit.

bottom wing skin overlaps the inboard bottom skin but doesn't mention
how the stiffeners overlap. Do I assume it's the same as the skins
(which is what I've done up to this point) or does it really matter???

Amen to that Jesse! I had just the hing section for a long long
time, and while it did work, eventually the eyelet widens and the
pin can start to move and then the wear happens faster yet.
I did the JB weld thing for a while to hold it on, and that worked
ok for a while but soon one of them broke free and then I had to
re-glue it. Finally I got ticked off enough that I did it better.
I bought new pins, and a section of stainless hinge, and silver
soldered them together. Yes, Van's does sell a pre-made pin, but
by this point I was irritated and knew I could do a better job
if I took the time. Wish I would have had Van's pins right from
the start. Actually, if I could do it all over again, I'd
make mine look like Sean's where the pins get hidden by an
oval shaped RV-10 logo. That to me trims it out perfectly.
