Mouse Trap car

Step 7Put eye holes in trap

Put eye holes in trap
Screw the four eyelets into the mouse trap along the short sides. Try to get them to be roughly the same depth so that the axle that will later go through them is somewhat straight. Also, take care to not crack the trap too much. More ambitious builders may want to pre-drill holes, but I went for broke and indeed it cracked a bit, but not so much that it didn't work.
