Step 7Select a Motor Mount Bracket
Look through all of the spare parts from the VCR and pick out pieces that you think could be used to mount the motor to the pinwheel shaft. I found about three possible candidates, but settled for a slightly bent small piece of metal that I could easily screw the motor into.
Normally, a small electric motor will contain pre-drilled screw holes. You can use these in order to help mount the motor. I chose the piece of metal because when I compared it to the other possibilities, it seemed to have the most durability. The other great thing about using a piece of metal for the motor mount is that you can bend it in order to make small adjustments when trying to mesh the gear train.
