Something that really helps with this fairing installation and many other situations where you need to line up holes is to purchase several round pointed awls or what ever they are called. Basically a screwdriver with a tapered and pointy end on it. These can be used somewhat like clecos to line up holes. Put one in a hole adjacent to the one you are working with and you can move it around to get the alignment needed on the hole your working with. These are great tools to help align all the holes on the floor skins or wherever you need to align holes and get screws started.

The idea is to use the washer web to transfer the fuselage profile exactly to the fairing. The web distance is the perfect spacing to keep the fairing in place without glue.
