Just a small tip for us poor thick fingered people trying to put bolts into hard to get to places,
Eg:- MAP sensor bolt with manifold in place.
Cut a small cross on the middle of a little piece of thin plastic with a sharp knife, put bolt through bolt hole then push the plastic over the bolt just a little. The plastic holds the bolt in the hole, mount the item and tighten.
This can only be used where the plastic won't do any harm and You need to be sure the plastic won't be in a hot environment or in a place where it could cause problems.
This idea has probably been thought of and posted before but I'm new here and haven't searched to see if it has been. Anyway I hope this can be useful to others.
