Alignment Tool:
Here's another way to make an alignment tool for those pesky 1/4" nut compensator/trimmer caps.
Take a 1/2" wooden dowel and place a NYLON 5/16 - 18x1 Socket Head Cap Screw (Grainger item# 4FVF8 ) into one end of the dowel. I just used epoxy to hold the screw into a hole drilled in the end of the dowel. You also need to drill a few millimeters into the socket head with a 3/16" bit to allow room for driver to fit onto the nut. Instead of a wooden dowel you can also use some PVC tubing for the handle. They are not pretty but it works. Here are a few pics:
