MGA 1957 MGA dash

A friend just got a very original 1957 MGA. Everything looks in place except there is a slightly recessed hole on the very far left side of the dash board. Anyone have any idea what should be there?

Picture attached.
Thanks

Bruce

Bruce,

If it is to the left and above the turn signal switch... and the car is LHD then 'tis the turn signal indicator lamp....

Ron - I attached a picture. Hole is as far to the left of the dash as possible.

Not sure if you noticed yet but someone ran off with your car body.

This is a great forum and saves all of us $$$, time, and effort... and reducing the feeling that we are not the ONLY anal retentive, nut cases on the planet.... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
