Having drilled all the hinge holes to 3.3mm and fitted clecos, it's time to open them all up to 4.8mm for the 10-32 (3/16") hinge attaching screws. But how to ensure the hinge stays correctly aligned and in close contact with the flange after the last cleco is removed? Easy, fit a temporary screw. But how to get the nut on the screw? That's what's happening here, and the next picture reveals how the mixing stick holds the nut.

A lump of Blu-Tack on the end of a mixing stick provides a means to pass the nut through the small gap between horn and slot, and hold it in position while the screw is tightened.
