Great idea. Come up with off the wall, Rube Goldberg type fixes and fixes we've actually seen. The "WTF were they thinking?" type stuff.

No problem pal. I'm the one doing the hi-jacking anyway! My truck really had some pretty interesting stuff done to it. It came out of a barn yard in Arkansas, so I am told. I got it from a guy who's brother dragged it up here and gave up on it before he started. This shot shows the custom steering column tensioner, not even the guys with CV conversions have one of those!

Next time set the mouse trap next to a vertical surface like the gas tank behind the seat. They like to run next to walls normally.

Self-depressing clutch, shelled corn, looks just like the truck I brought home a couple weeks ago! (I caught the mouse the 2nd night)

Not a seat belt, but a seat chain. I like that.
