1. Use plastic-cutting scissors or a hobby knife to cut away
part of the "ring" around the replica engine as shown.

2. Use a pin vise with a small drill or a hobby knife to
drill the holes for the pushrod wires. The size of the drill
isn't critical–it just has to be approximately the same size or
slightly larger than the pushrod wires so they will fi t into the

Glue the wires into position from the back of the replica
engine with medium CA.
