Just wondering if anyone else has discovered that the gearbox mounts on their 6X6's are different to the 4X4's. When I pulled my gearbox mount brackets off to replace them with galvanised ones and new rubber mounts I discovered that they are similar but have bigger studs than the normal ones. The standard ones (STC434) have 10mm studs and my 6by had ones with 12mm studs. The old ones were a bit distorted and I wanted to replace them but I can't find any replacements advertised anywhere. They have the part number moulded into them (NTC8645) but this number won't come up anywhere on suppliers inventories or when I google it. Even the RPS 02185 shows the 10mm ones:confused: I replaced them with the 10mm ones but obviously the bigger stud type would be better for the torque of the 6by. Anyone got any ideas!!! Sorry I just changed that part number as I put the wrong one in.

We have used these guys in the past for vibration control - https://www.flexibledrive.com.au

Page 43 of the catalogue shows some mounts that are similar in design and all the specs. There is one there with 12mm studs and also some 1/2" ones.

Hmmm, can't seem to link the catalogue properly - this is the page - (replace the 'dot' with a .) https://www dot flexibledrive.com.au/docs/catalogue.pdf. Or just go to their homepage and the catalogue link is down the bottom on the RHS.

Maybe Jaguar engine mounts will do? they were always a heavier option.
Check out Google images, but the bolt size is similar to LR
