That's what I have. You simply drill a hole and attach with small wood screws. I painted the wood screws and some of the metal bits flat black to blend in more with the flat black cabinet. You won't find a simpler install than those panel mounts. If you're worried about appearance, mount them underneath the control panel.

I got some like that. You can actually unscrew the housing off it and then screw it from inside the cab. You will need to cut a small hole that is a 'slit' sort of hole that the USB will pole through. This will give you a really clean finish. Difficult to describe, I'll try to take a photo of it. Hardest part of it is cutting the shape of the hole. If you have a dremel this will be simple though.

Here you go:
This is what the back of them looks like (assuming yours are the same as mine):

Pull those 2 screws out and the case comes off and this is what you're left with:

Shouldnt be too difficult to cut out a slot like hole to stick the 'normal' usb end through on the outside of your cab, and then use the screw holes to screw into the inside of your cab. I havent done it yet but i'll give it a go.
