Hi John,
I used the standard method to make the wing joints. I would suggest you sand them a little at a time to ensure a really good fit. Actually, it's quite hard work as the ply is so hard, but it's worth it.
To mount the belly pan and cowl, I use brass inserts:-

- screwed into the firewall (for the cowl) or a piece of hard balsa epoxied inside the fuselage side (for the belly pan), and a short 4-40 steel bolt going through a washer and small piece of fuel tubing.
