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.
LED and HID vehicle lights
Work lights / driving lights / LED spot lights / flood lights / HID headlights / LED light bars and interior LED lights
MASAI LIGHTS stocks a wide selection of LED and HID vehicle lights / work lights / driving lights / LED spot lights / flood lights / HID Headlights / LED Light Bars and interior LED Lights. We have high-luminosity LED lights and ultra bright Xenon HID lights, IP65 and IP67 compliant. Some have housings made of die-cast aluminium and others are ABS plastic. Most have wide voltage ranges.
18 to 300 watts and up to 24,000 lumens LEDs. High intensity Epistar LEDs are energy-efficient compared to filament or halogen lights and CREE LEDs are even more powerful and energy-efficient than Epistar LEDs. If you're running additional lights off a switched off engine, then high-efficiency HID and LED lights will drain the battery slower than traditional filament or halogen lights.
About Masai
Automotive Engineering since 1953
Masai is a retail brand name of our design and manufacturing company Omega Automotive Ltd, owned and managed by the Kuman family based in England and Turkey. Since 1953, a passion for automotive engineering has flowed through 3 generations of the Kuman family.
We are specialists in Windows, Metal Fabrication, Lighting, Vehicle Instrumentation, Suspension, Rubber and Cooling. We also manufacture and supply to many automotive companies around the world. See all our products on our other website at Masai.co. Or stay on this website and see them here.
We have facilities in two of Europe’s long established centres of automotive engineering - Istanbul, Turkey - manufacturing, and The Midlands UK (Lichfield) - our Northern European distribution centre.
There's been a growing demand over recent years for vehicle lighting which consumes less power and is far longer lasting than conventional filament bulbs.
LED lights very much meet that need, and for the same power consumption will produce greater luminosity and a whiter light. Recognising that, we have sourced high-quality LED and HID vehicle lights from around the world and will be bringing further ranges over the coming years.
High intensity Epistar LEDs are energy-efficient compared to filament or halogen lights and CREE LEDs are even more powerful and energy-efficient than Epistar LEDs.
If you’re running additional lights off a switched off engine, then high-efficiency HID and LED lights will drain the battery slower than traditional filament or halogen lights.
The circular light you see below is a 4-inch LED work light producing 2,150 lumens at 27 watts with 9 Epistar LEDs. It can be fitted to a wide range of commercial and domestic vehicles.
