[Healeys] Positive Ground Power Outlet for Accessories

Hi Folks,

To install a power outlet, such as for charging a cell phone, in a car with
a positive ground electrical system, is it simply a matter of running a wire
from the positive post on the power outlet to a adequate ground, running a
wire from the negative post on the power outlet to a "hot" wire such as one
of the terminals with a white wire on the ignition switch, and then
isolating the metal portions of the power outlet body from touching any
metal parts on the car?

I also plan on installing an in-line fuse in the wire to the ignition
switch.

Thanks for your help.
