Has anyone got USB socket up front? Where is best place to mount it? My satnav gave up so using phone on Quadlock wireless charger, just looking for ideas of where to locate it.

Thanks

Steve

I've got one on each side mounted on the top in the side "wing" panels.
I drilled a hole in each side and fished the wires back to under the seat.
Sorry I don't have any photos.
 
Found a couple:

If you zoom in on the right you'll see a double USB connector.

If you zoom in on the left side you'll just see the waterproof lid on top of a 12V outlet.

I’ve the same but only on one side.
 
Had a play on CAD and 3D printer, came up with this solution, works for me.

Very interesting... What tablet do you use? Do you do off-road?

Don't do off road, I use fusion 360 on laptop and have app on phone so it stores your projects on there, just screen shot and uploaded.
 
The screen protects the rest, I did think of complete housing but thought just keep it simple. I'm only a beginner at this CAD and 3D printing.

Keep it up. You're doing a good job!

Picked up two of those twin usb mounts from Steve aka pitrat101 yesterday and will fit them this w/e good bit of kit .
Thanks again Steve .
Good man cave you’ve got there .
 
I would be very interested in one of those as I have the same USB socket that needs mounting. Are you looking to produce more? What would charge for one of these including postage to Derby please?
 
Not really set up for production. I just had a couple spare from original set up.
