The locator tool comprises a base perpendicularly extending from a first end of a rod. A bracket holding fixture is connected to a second end of the rod. In one embodiment, the base, the rod, and the fixture are ridgidly connected. In an alternate embodiment, the base is comprised of a sleeve extending generally perpendicular from a planar plate and slidingly engaged with the rod.
