I had the same thing on a 69 Austin America, in additional to a sheet steel 
splash panel in front of the dizzy.  I haven't checked availability of that 
part in nearly 30 years since I sold the car, but that rubber cover had 
better still be available for anyone driving an A-series transverse engine 
car.  Driving in the rain without it is pretty much futile.  Otherwise for 
my MG I usually keep a spare heater valve handy.
