Abstract
An alignment tool () aligns a first opening (A) in a first member (A) with a second opening (A) in a second member (D) to receive a fastener to couple the members. First () and second () lugs extend from a back plate (). A first pin () is received within a first lug opening (C) and within a third opening (A) in the first member (A). Similarly a second pin () is received within a second lug opening (A) and within a fourth opening (A) in the second member (D). The third (A) and fourth (A) openings are proximate respective first (A) and second (A) openings. Reducing the distance between the back plate () and the first pin () displaces the third opening (A) toward the back plate () to align the first (A) and second (A) openings.
