Continuing with the cowl, I joined the to halves and refined the joins.
And used the metal tab principle again for the rear locations. The front is still being held by the original #40 clecos that go through the spinner 'circle' and provide the center pivot.
This is the current problem. The magnitude of the gap is reducing, but still about 3/16" at the bottom. I've posted a question to the list about various options available to me and also have a few ideas of my own - I think it is solvable - but it will require some re-work. Having the lower side hinges already riveted to the fuselage may be a problem.
With the two halves mated together, I sorted drilling out the intermediate locations.
