INSTRUCTIONS

1.

Use heavy-duty kitchen shears to cut the tyre across the tread. Next, evenly cut along both sides of the tread down the length of the tyre to produce the 30 mm belt width. (You may want to test the width on a favourite pair of jeans to confirm the fit.)

2.

Clamp the buckle back to a workbench and enlarge the buckle’s mounting hole with a 5 mm twist drill bit and a cordless drill. The binding-post base should slide neatly into the hole when you’re done.

3.

Drill a matching 5 mm hole in the centre of the belt, 12 mm from an end.

4.

Position the buckle back behind the belt and thread the binding-post screw through the hole in the belt and into the post. Tighten the screw with a straight-blade screwdriver. The screw head should pinch slightly into the belt.

5.

With the child wearing the belt around his or her waist, have an adult mark the belt’s length. Cut the belt to a length that allows the buckle’s hook to overlap the belt’s end by 12 mm.

6.

About 10 mm from the end of the belt that doesn’t have the buckle, drill a centred 4 mm hole.

7.

Cut a strip of the soft and fuzzy side of the Velcro and attach it to the buckle. Trim off the excess.

8.

Cut a matching piece of Velcro to 12 x 50 mm and stick it on the bottom of the car. Stick the car to the belt.
