What purpose does the cutout in the driver side inner fender well serve?
It is located under the master cylinder and has a large rubber plug that closes it.
I don't think I used the hole to gain access to loosen any nuts/bolts when gutting out the engine compartment and removing the entire front suspension.
I'm considering fabbing a metal piece to close this for good.

This has been discussed several times before. Got several different answers.....

This is what I've been able to find out (for what's it worth) Ford calls it a PLATE (front fender apron access hole cover) and that's it ! Not much help there with that. The parts book shows :
1973 as 2 required -I can't go lower then '73 but they have a '71 part # - also they are shown as a triangle shape.
1974 and then '75 up show only one required - but with different part #s
My quess is they don't even know why they are there !
I'll just put mine in there and if I should ever have to remove it - I'll know why it's there :)

its there to adjust or take apart the front suspion on the driver side, pass side has more room thats why there is no one there.
hope this helps
