Does anyone have any information on where to buy USB ports and extra power ports? I am building a console for my '68 and wanted to put in USB ports to charge cameras, phones etc. Maybe extra power outlets for other electronic devices. Not much load on either of them. Wanted something that looked good and had a cover over them in case something (God forbid) spilled on them. I will post pictures later after I get my template done to see what everyone thinks of my console idea..

Thanks,
Carl

MCM electronics has a lot of that stuff.

Some I found doing a google search. I plan on doing the same. Some of these are just for charging, others are "real" USB ports that you can connect to a radio for a remove iPod control.

So far the "bluesea.com" is moreover what I'm looking for. I want to hard wire it into the console and don't really want a plug in type. I looked at MCM, but didn't find what I'm looking for. May just be I didn't look in the right place, but did a search and all they had close was the plug in type. Still looking though.

Thanks so far guys..

also would like to look at a usb/12 volt power source (like a cigarette lighter source) together.

I bought two of these. They have others in varying styles.
