1)To fix the switch, drill a hole in the top.

2)Drill 1 more hole in the contact point of the box and bowl to pass the motor wires to the battery slot.

3)Insert the switch to the hole and glue the box to the bowl.

4)Connect one of the motor wires via the switch and the other directly to the battery slot wires. Connect the slot to the box and close the box.
