Re: Mounting Fisher Price Gearboxes
We make an aluminum adapter with radial screws that mates to the moving plastic wheel with the slots. We then pin the adapter to what ever shaft we are using. On the other side of the gear box we have a roughly triangular plate that goes over the three screws that hold the gearbox together. We remove the screws and drill through the plastic and use these three holes to mount the gearbox to the frame or arm or what ever.
