Default RHD swap... leak...

This car is a firewall swap. Noticed a leak every time it rained the JDM passenger floor would get soaked. Went to look behind the firewall and found this gaping whole that seems to be related to the HVAC system... So I ask you brothers...

What goes here?

Looks like that's where the brake master cylinder "was".

I was assuming that there is a hole like this on the USDM passenger side that is also related to the HVAC system?

Rainguard sounds exactly like what I need there. haha.

Now the question is, since it's RHD is the shape of the rainguard inverted from the USDM version? If so, I'm assuming I can't just march down to the dealer and order the part... and will have to special order it through a specialty shop or fabricate one?

Yeah, I've been thinking of switching them up for something bronze, but I can't bring myself to do it. I really like them.

Looks like I would have to buy the whole damn thing, so I'll be fabbing my own rain guard out of sheet metal if I don't have any luck at the junkyards. Thanks anyways homies!
