A method of installing interior modules to support structures in an aircraft fuselage comprises attaching fixed ends of a plurality of tie rods to the support structures; and determining installation length of the tie rods, installation spacing between free ends of the tie rods, and installation orientation of the tie rods prior to positioning the interior module for installation. The method further comprises securing tie rod holding fixtures to the tie rods to hold the spacing and orientation at or near final configuration to facilitate installation of the interior modules.
