Measurements of mixer are not critical, it is just a pulley system which allows soft kite to change its AoA when bar is sheeted in/out.
FS mixer is best because it is adjustable and serviceable, and it will work well in Diablo too. You can take measurements from it.
Diablo may have so called Turbo line which pulls brakes more when sheeted in, it can be added or not. Most race kites don't have it.
Lines should be some dyneema which fits in pulleys and doesn't wear out too fast. You can and should replace lines anyway so not that critical either.
