I have not been able to successfully google where I can obtain a tool for positioning a bolt, or washer plus nut, in a difficult to reach place. I presently need it to mount my rudder.
One of our brethren has an Esco Hingemate Australia AN3 + AN4. I have been unable to locate it or anything similar.
Any advice or help would be deeply appreciated.

Maurice,
This might seem a bit primitive, but when I was helping the guy across the
street build his Lancair, we used a lot of instant glue - cyanoacrylate.
For the insertion of the rudder bolts, I made some aluminum strips - .040 X
1/2 inch - and glued the head of the bolt to the end of a strip and bent it
to the shape I needed. I suspect you could glue the washer to the nut and
the combination to an aluminum strip and get a turn or two using a wrench on
the bolt.
Also Harbor Freight has very larve hemostat like tools that I have used on
my Kitfox build.

Maurice,
Look at www.averytools.com, p/n 5866 for a bolt insertion tool. You could make one of these pretty easily.
Also see p/n 41011TP if you have finger room. And p/n 23800 for washers. These will hold nuts also. As Lowell suggested glue the washer and nut together and use this tool to place on bolt.

When I worked at Boeing, I used the "glue the nut and washer to a stick" method daily. Works well!
