    Can't help with the gearbox queries. The rubber boots you are after are for Series 1 and Series 2,2a up to chassis suffix 'C' rather than Series 2a. Later 2a and 3 are the same as each other and readily available. I am not sure what the difference is between the bellhousing ones, but the handbrake one is the difference between the straight and bent handles.

    The split ring sits under the 3rd gear on the layshaft.
    They may fall out on reassemble, (I know Because) so add some loctite to them and the gear, on assemble.
    Allfour x 4 spares, have a supply of good S/H spares. Very helpful.
    Overseas spares do come in quite a bit cheaper, and can be as quick as Australia post, before Covid.
    I use 620 on my parts, and was used to fit the one piece bush, and bearings.

    Ok, thanks guys.
    Will order a new split ring and see if it makes sense when I reassemble.
    Is there an advantage in the one piece bush?

    New Project

    Hi everyone,

    im slowly making progress here....

    Ive had my gearbox sitting in for a few months. The rubber mounts that I bought off an Australian supplier (cheap...$10 each) are already starting to collapse and the rubber is cracking. One of the studs started spinning in the rubber when I was installing it, so I probably should of given up at that point.

    I’m going to replace them. Does anyone have a good recommendation for a supplier? Or should I just bite the bullet and order genuine from the UK?

    Also, does anyone have shock absorber recommendations?
    I’ve got parabolic springs, but am not intending to do any major off-road work, so standard length should be ok...

    It's always tricky recommending suppliers. your experience may/will differ from mine, and bad blood can ensue. That said, i would have zero hesitation recommending Mario, but he doesn't do series stuff. I have used 4wdindustries | eBay Stores ( had their proper address but can't find it now ) successfully for gaskets and stuff, but never for mountings and stuff. There have been some pretty poor examples of those floating around for years. Maybe 4wdindustries | eBay Stores will have good ones, but it all comes down to suppliers and stock.

    If I may, I'd suggest checking out Mike's channel on youtube. He's moved on from Series stuff, but he talks a lot about parts supply issues. And, he's fun.
    Bloody thing won't let me post what I want, so i'll start with this:

    Follow up to LRWorkshop on Land Rover parts. Who IS buying Britpart? - YouTube

    Thing is, Mike has been doing LRs forever, and if you email him he answers.

    Thanks Tins,

    I’ve spent many hours watching Mike’s great videos!

    I guess my question should be more phrased as “has anyone else bought engine/gearbox mounts that have been ok?”

    I may have just received a bad batch....
    I suspect all the Australian suppliers are selling the same ones, since they are all around $10 each....but I could be wrong on that...

    For what it is worth, no problems with mounts from All Four x 4 - but that was a few years ago.

    Thanks John,

    I’ve found some Mackay rubber ones that are made in Oz on the internet. I think I’ll give those a try next...
