There's a hole in my floor . . ., What the heck is it for? Options

[Marlow]

I rebuilt a spare pedal cluster and was in the process of replacing the old one and the clutch cable. I scraped off some seam sealer so I could Por15 some minor rust and found a hole. Actually it's like a flap of metal but I can see light on the other side. It's the semi-circle right below the rubber grommet for the MC. What's it for? Drain brake fluid if the MC pukes? Should I seal it or just leave it open?

I was relieved that this area wasn't too rusted, luckily just easily fixable surface rust.

your floorpans have several of those. it's one of those things.
some say it was for the "robots" on the assembly line to hold the pieces.
who knows?

there are more right in front of the seats, i think at least 2 on each side.
i just sprayed metal ready on there, then seam sealer, then por15 over it.
