Spark plug valley cover nut

[isnms]

Just wondering: Can anyone tell me why the last spark plug valley cover nut is different from the rest? What is the purpose of that?

Normally, that holds a bracket support for the heater hose. I'm assuming that yours is missing.

As long as I've owned it ('03) it has not had a heater hose support.
Thanks

Anyone with a pic of this mythical support? I have never seen it but would like to. Always wondered why that was there myself.

No, there's a separate threaded hole for that. The spark plug valley cover 'nut' is farther back than the bracket.
