Bulkhead Trim Panel – Land Rover Defender | LT77 Gearbox
Restore the interior of your Defender with this precision-engineered Bulkhead Trim Panel, specifically designed for models equipped with the LT77 5-speed manual gearbox. This panel (equivalent to OE part number MTC4861) is a critical component for finishing the lower bulkhead and transmission tunnel area, providing a clean, factory-standard appearance while serving as a vital barrier against engine noise and heat.
Engineered for the LT77 Profile The LT77 gearbox, found in early Defenders (including 2.5NA, TD, and early 200Tdi models), has a distinct gear lever position and transmission tunnel shape compared to the later R380 units. This trim panel is specifically moulded to accommodate that unique geometry, ensuring a tight, seamless fit around the transmission tunnel. This precision fit is essential for effective sound deadening and preventing drafts from entering the cabin.
Durable Restoration Quality Over decades of service, original bulkhead trims often become brittle, cracked, or oil-soaked. Our replacement panel is manufactured from high-quality, impact-resistant materials that are built to survive the heavy-duty environment of a working Defender. The textured finish is designed to match the original interior aesthetic, making it the perfect choice for high-end restorations or cabin refreshes.
Key Features:
- Transmission Specific: Designed exclusively for the LT77 gearbox configuration for a perfect, gap-free installation.
- Noise & Heat Reduction: Acts as an insulated shield to dampen mechanical noise and block heat transfer from the engine bay.
- OE Reference: Direct replacement for part MTC4861, ensuring compatibility with original mounting points.
- Tough Construction: Resistant to moisture, common automotive chemicals, and the daily wear and tear of a footwell environment.
- Professional Finish: Restores the "factory-fresh" look to your interior, hiding the raw metal of the bulkhead.
Technical Specifications:
- Compatibility: Fits Land Rover Defender 90, 110, and 130.
- Gearbox Fitment: LT77 Manual Transmission only.
- Material: Heavy-duty, automotive-grade moulded synthetic.
- Availability: Exclusively available for purchase through Masai 4x4.
Installation Note: For the best results and a quieter cabin, we recommend inspecting your bulkhead foam insulation before fitting this trim. Ensure all factory mounting clips are in good condition; using new fixings will ensure the panel remains secure and rattle-free even during off-road use.
