Gearbox tunnel cover

dag019 · Apr 3, 2020

I need a new rubber lt77 gearbox tunnel cover as my current one is now in about 6 different pieces. The only one I can find is a bearmach version, but it is quite expensive, and nearly twice the price of the r380 version (link). I am looking for just the tunnel cover rather than the integrated floor mat versions that are available.
Does any one have any experience with these in terms of quality and longevity?
Does any one know of any alternatives that may be better?

I'm sort of in the same boat. Mine is in one piece but split in half. I'd like to know if anyone has glue them back together with any success. The ones linked dont look anyway near as thick as original.

There are a few on Ebay and are all about UK£100 here by the look of it.

l guess you could try one and send it back if it wasn’t satisfactory.

I bought a Britpart one years ago, it split after 8 months, my original one was on there 30 years! There are leather alternatives out there, or there was last time I looked. Make sure you have the insulating cushion in there too.

That's the bit that looks missing or inferior in the link

You could easily make one out of some foam, or a swimming buoyancy aid thingy.

I suppose, its very similar or is neoprene.

I have sound proofed the tunnel with alubutyl type material, but I am looking for factory black heavy rubber cover to match the seatbox cover and foot well covering. I know I could make my own that would function but I would quite like it to match. If the bearmach one does not have the foam backing I am happy to add that but want the factory style outer to match the rest of the interior. I was hoping someone here had one so I would be the test Guinean pig gambling £100 it would be good.
