I made a bracket that mounts to the two screws that attaches the =
stabilizing strut to the bottom of the dash.  I have two ports under =
there, one switched and one powered all the time.  Easily accessed yet =
still not in the way.

Another idea is mount it IN the glove box.  This way you can leave your =
phone on charge all within your locked glove box and out of sight.

Hi Alex,=20

Here is another mounting option. O=E2=80=99Reilly=E2=80=99s sells a USB =
receptacle that comes with a mounting bracket tha allows you to mount it =
to the bottom of your cardboard glove box=20

. It is pretty unobtrusive but still completely accessible and it was =
only about $15.00 as I remember. That way you don=E2=80=99t have to =
screw around with your switch plinth. If you are interested, I can send =
you a picture. I just wired it into the switched 12 bolts.

Some models had the ignition switch located on the plinth.  US standards =
dictated the use of the steering lock as an anti-theft device freeing up =
that fifth position.  Feel free to mount your power port there if you =
have no plans of changing back to the plinth mounted ignition switch. =20

Quick question on a 1972 TR6 switch plinth=E2=80=A6=E2=80=A6

=20

The 1969 plinth has five holes=E2=80=A6the 1970 and on have 4 holes with =
a space between 2 & 4 switch.=20

=20

My question is I am looking to install a USB charging port on my 1972. =
It appears there is adequate space dead center on the plinth between the =
switches where this USB port can go. Does anyone know if the 5th hole is =
still there whereupon Triumph used the same plinth but avoided using the =
center hole. It would be nice to just =E2=80=9Cpunch out=E2=80=9D the =
existing hole spot if it is still there as opposed to having to drill a =
hole about 1=E2=80=9D in diameter to accommodate the USB switch.

=20

Any help or advised welcomed=E2=80=A6=E2=80=A6
