O’Reilly’s sells a USB receptacle that comes with a mounting bracket tha allows you to mount it to the bottom of your cardboard glove box </div><div>. It is pretty unobtrusive but still completely accessible and it was only about $15.00 as I remember. That way you don’t 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.</div><div>Dave Connitt<br><br><div dir="ltr">Sent from my iPhone</div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">On Dec 21, 2020, at 11:49 AM, DAVID MASSEY <dave1massey@cs.com> wrote:<br><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr">

<div> <font size="3">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. </font><br>

<div class="yiv5130344704MsoNormal"> </div>
<div class="yiv5130344704MsoNormal">The 1969 plinth has five holes…the 1970 and on have 4 holes with a space between 2 & 4 switch. </div>
<div class="yiv5130344704MsoNormal"> </div>
<div class="yiv5130344704MsoNormal">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 5<sup>th</sup> hole is still there whereupon Triumph used the same plinth but avoided using the center hole. It would be nice to just “punch out” the existing hole spot if it is still there as opposed to having to drill a hole about 1” in diameter to accommodate the USB switch.</div>
