Re: Mounting / Connecting The Fisher Price Motor

Paul, today we did something very similar, and it works beautifully. Much better than trying to use the black coupler. One thing we found, is that by using 5mm bolts, which are larger in diameter than the slot is wide, and then drilling the slot out slightly to accept the bolt, makes for an extremely strong connection, even without the bolts tightened down.
