I am looking to install a lighter socket in my '50 3600 dash (original is long gone) to power USB devices.

I purchased a generic at a Oreillys but it needs a 1" opening and my opening is more like 7/8"

I'm curious what others may have used or if there is a relatively easy way to resize the dash opening for the generic I purchased.

If I can't find a reasonable alternative I could mount the generic on a bracket under the dash but I would prefer to fill the existing hole rather than adding anything else (I already have wiper, heater, and defront controls in a bracket below the dash.
