Interface fitting (10) for supporting a component (B) of a structure (W) to be assembled on an assembly jig (AJ), comprising a component-side part (12), adapted to be attached to the component (B), and a jig-side part (16), configured to bear in an orientable way on the assembly jig (AJ). The support block further comprises a spacer member (20) interposed between the component-side part and the jig-side part, which can be operated to adjust the distance between the component-side part and the jig-side part.
