A method of securing two components (34a; 34b) to each other includes locating a mounting strip (54) at a second mounting flange (43a) of a second component (34b). The mounting strip (54) is slidably affixed to the second component (34b) and includes a plurality of strip openings (58) and a tightening ramp (60) located at each strip opening (58) of the plurality of strip openings. A first component (34a) is located such that a first mounting flange (42a) of the first component (34a) abuts the second mounting flange (42b). A plurality of fasteners (44) are located at the first mounting flange (42a). A fastener (44) of the plurality of fasteners extends through each strip opening (58) of the plurality of strip openings. The mounting strip (54) is slid in a direction to increase tension on the plurality of fasteners (44) via an increasing height of the tightening ramp (60) under a fastener head (48) of the fastener (44), thereby securing the second mounting flange (43b) to the first mounting flange (42a).
