After you glued the GG-holder into the tube put the phone cable through the hole and solder it to the vibrating motor. Fix the cable with hot glue or silicone. Take care that the motor cables have enough space to move or the vibration won't work properly!

The adapter should look like this. You have only to screw the other things (spacer ring, macro lens, step up ring …) on it and its done.

Here is how to connect the whole thing to work properly!
With the rheostat you can now control the voltage of the motor (0.8 – 1.0 V) for proper vibration.

Have fun!
