Bulkhead Trim Panel for Land Rover Defender - R380 Gear Box
Bulkhead Trim Panel for Land Rover Defender - R380 Gear Box
Restore your Defender’s cabin refinement with this precision-moulded Bulkhead Trim Panel, specifically engineered for models equipped with the R380 5-speed manual gearbox. This panel serves as the central finishing piece for the lower bulkhead and transmission tunnel, providing essential sound insulation and heat protection for a more comfortable driving experience.
Optimized for the R380 Transmission The R380 gearbox—standard in most 300Tdi and TD5 models—features a specific transmission tunnel shape and gear stick positioning that differs from earlier units. This trim panel is tailored to match that exact geometry, ensuring a tight, gap-free fit. By sealing this area correctly, the panel significantly reduces the transfer of mechanical noise, transmission whine, and engine heat into the footwell.
Heavy-Duty Restoration Quality Designed to replace worn, cracked, or missing original trim, this panel is manufactured from high-impact, automotive-grade materials. It is built to withstand the tough environment of a Defender interior, resisting damage from heavy boots, mud, and moisture while maintaining its structural shape over time.
