The wheels on the flea chariot are 5mm, the hubs just 2mm. I silver soldered the axle to the carriage with a small torch then used soft solder and carefully applied flux to attach those so that the wheels still turn.
I had the flea shipped in from the USA, the wire was a bit tricky as it snapped easily when making the tight turns. I probably should have annealed it but as the other end was already attached to the flea it was not easy. The coin is about the size of a 2p or US Quarter.
