Cellphone Charger Wire Wrangler & Dock (RAZR)

Step 5 Add a mount and a wire loom

Since Bob made his connecting wire so short, he added a screw-in eyelet at the bottom of the charger to reduce stress on the wire as it bends up to meet the L bracket (more on that below). Bob found that the small threads of the eyelet screwed straight in beteween the joint of the two side of the charger and a pilot hole was therefore unnecessary. Bob bent the eyelet open enough for the wire to pass through using needle nose pliers and then closed it against the wire.

Next, get yourself a corner brace, about 1" on each side for the USB mount. Bob used a grinding wheel to flatten the side of the charger since the sides actually angle up slightly in the middle, and will make it difficult to mount a flat surface to it. Bob also roughed up the surfaces of the corner brace to make the JB Weld stick better. Before attaching to the charger base, Bob ground the top length to match the length of the USB plug. JB Weld or epoxy the brace in place near the base of the charger.
