Step 1 You will need the following
parts. You may get them from the kit or you may select your own. |

Step 2) Attach the mousetrap to the wood. A few ways are possible. The simplest way is to glue the mouse trap base to the wood. More elaborate ways are shown here on the right and below. | ||
You may wish to just use the spring. It is possible to detach the spring from the trap and attach it to the body of your vehicle as shown on the left. | ||
Step 3) Attach the screw eyes as shown on the right to the top of you vehicle. They will form the bearing to hold the rear wheel axle. | ||
