I am installing some after market floor boards and I have noticed a hole in the new DS floorboard, which I did not have in my original floor. The one I am speaking about is the large oval hole to the right of the gas pedal rod hole. Here is a picture:

What was this hole meant for? Floor starter maybe? If I do not need it I want to weld it shut with a patch panel. Thanks for any input.
