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.
