I recently replaced the plastic steering column cover.  Unlike the original, the upper half of the new piece has a molded cutout with a small (1/2 x 2"?) hole.  Anyone know what is intended to go there?  Looks almost like a gear shift indicator window, but I don't know if any of the Vanagons had column-mounted automatics.  Anyone have a creative idea what I could put in the hole?  Seems to small for any kind of gauge; I already have a digital clock (nearly same size) on the instrument cluster.  I can always cut out a blank piece of plastic and glue it over the hole.
