I am in the process of recovering the glove box,in the top right hand front corner there is a cutout approx: 1 1/2 inch: wide and 1inch deep ,does anyone know what it is for? if it is of no use i will cover it over with material

I think it is for the light switch.

Eric, I happen to have mine out and looked - I don't see any purpose either, but my original tex is cut out around that "notch" leaving the painted surface underneath exposed.

As usual Naj got it right.

It is the cut out for the lock lever.

Thank you all,it looks like i will have to keep it.
Alfred, what did you use as a replacement for the cardboard type material used in the bottom?

Aah, the cardboard, "Pappe", or Bernd's holy grail. See: http://www.sl113.org/forums/index.php?topic=11853
I used thin "Irish felt" that is used by boat and ship builders and also by roofing companies but he was not satisfied with it because it does not have a paper or cardboard feel.
You should be able to get a sample where you are and decide whether you like it.
