That little square plate on the back of the pedal box? Actually nothing. It's an access plate to reach the hydraulic lines. You could seal it if you wanted to, but best to use something easily removed if you have to reach the lines.

Sorry..I wasn't completely clear. Not the access plate but the whole pocket held in place to the firewall by seven bolts. Then the master cylinder is mounted in the pocket.

I used dumdum a non setting sealer unfortunately you can't buy it any more because it has something in it that's not good for us but I am sure there are altunatives out there that will do the same job

Originally they had a black tar like substance seam sealer for the whole assembly. I used rubber based caulking last time. I think it was gray and called Butal rubber or something very common and paintable.

Thanks for the input guys. Seems the consensus seems to be as caulk of some sort. I was considering like inner tube rubber cut into strips. For the sake of conversation, what would you think of that?

If you don't mind taking the time to cut and fit it, it should work perfectly. Glad it helped, Steve. I know every paint supplier sells the butyl stuff, but at a real mark up!
