Default T56 Magnum fbody spec dust covers?

Just swapped in a t56 Magnum and have 2 gaping holes where the bellhousing meets the transmission. Is there a dust cover made for this? Or anyone have an alternative option to cover them if dust covers aren't made for it?

I circled one, other hole is on the other side.

In actuality that hole is for a clutch fork application.... it actually helps remove heat from the clutch area and dust as well. I wouldn't worry about any debris getting in there unless you are doing some off roading. I remove all the plastic covers from that area in all of the swaps I've done.

I noticed this also when I switched to the Moroso pan. I thought something was supposed to be there and started searching on t56 dust covers and found this post. Well that answers that question!

Plus it's a handy window to get a visual on clutch operations.

I think the driver side is also access for the bleeder screw on the slave. I have the bleeder hose now so it comes out there.
