I didn't think of that as well. I was just wondering whether I could
force the front half somewhat in the correct direction. To do this, I
attached the starboard side of the front half fairing to the rear half
of the fairing, to be able to bend the port side, and then discovered
that I could get the correct shape, without any bending, but at the cost
of creating a gap at the port seal. If you try to close this gap, the
fairing twists and takes its odd shape again. Leave it alone, and all is
right.
I love to think out solutions, but this one is really a coincidence, not
the result of thinking.

Next time you prepare a speed kit, try it, and let me know if it works
out the same for you.

I think it is a shame that it isn't covered in the manual. These parts
are not really a bargain, I somehow expected that the manual is adjusted
to the experiences of builders (and preferably, not only the manual but
the parts as well).
