Default Wing Fixing

I maidened my SpaceWalker yesterday. It was way too nose heavy - but I wanted to try it that way first. I'm running a Saito 30cc 4 stroke gas engine.
I'm moving my batteries further back and am also going to install a new fuel tank - also further back. However this will create problems in doing up the wing retaining bolts.
So, I'm thinking of using the existing wing bolts as pins (by chopping off the heads) - so this will make sure the wings are sitting correctly then putting some sort of retaining straps across the bottom of the fuselage that stick out either side that I can then screw up some retaining bolts into the wings. Anyone done anything like this?
