[TR] TR3 Dash Bracket Question

[Carl TR]

Another question for the masses...

Installing dash (facia) on the '3, specifically the two brackets that
connect it to the battery box.  One has a a U-shaped cut-out on one end.   I
cannot remember if there is a purpose for that cut-out.

See: http://i1001.photobucket.com/albums/af136/cfmtr3a/100_1319s.jpg

It is on only one end of one of the brackets.  I have a picture of the
'connection' next to the speedometer and it was not there (if it was
installed correctly in the first place).  It is not for the trip reset knob
(doesn't line up).

Thanks.
Carl
