ABSTRACT:
A jig for use in attaching a first part of a fastener assembly to a structural frame member having a fastener opening and at least one connector hole adjacent the fastener opening. The fastener assembly is of the type used for removably connecting a panel to the structural member. The first fastener part comprises a holder and a threaded stud retained in the holder. The holder has a flange having at least one opening formed therein and is adapted for permanent attachment to the structural member by a connector extending through the connector hole of the structural member and the opening in the holder. The jig comprises a body having a rotatable member with a head rotatably mounted in the body and a shank. The shank has threads matingly engageable with the threads on the stud of the first fastener part. The body is adapted to be positioned with the shank of the rotatable member extending through the fastener opening in the structural member for threaded engagement with the threaded stud of the first fastener part whereby rotation of the rotatable member pulls the holder into tight engagement with the structural member to hold the first fastener part in a position wherein the opening in the flange of the holder is aligned with the connector hole in the structural member for insertion of the connector through the aligned openings to attach the first fastener part to the structural member.
