DA1746BLACK Defender R380 Acoustic Mat System Black
Turn down the cabin noise in your classic Land Rover Defender. The DA1746BLACK acoustic mat system is a custom molded, three piece kit engineered to drastically reduce noise and panel reverberation inside Defenders fitted with the R380 gearbox. It is cast from dense polyurethane and built to industrial noise reduction standards, the same kind of material used to tame the racket found in heavy construction equipment, so the complete system removes the need for separate engine and gearbox blankets.
The kit covers the front cabin in three sections, a full seat box cover, a one piece floor and transmission tunnel mat, and a center bulkhead section. Together they form a heavy noise barrier of roughly 25 kilos (55 lb) of polyurethane spread across the floor, which is exactly why it works so well. The surface is hard wearing, easy to clean, and can simply be hosed out. It is inert so it will not rot or hold water the way felt or carpet does, and the material is resistant to fuel, oil, water, and sunlight. It is also fire retardant, recyclable, and provides useful insulation to help keep heat out of the cabin, or in.
Fitting is straightforward with no glue required, and the mats are fully transferable if you move them to another vehicle. The seat box section carries molded witness marks on its underside that line up with the features of your seat box, so it can be trimmed with a heavy duty craft knife to clear storage compartments, the gearbox access plate, and your seat mounting points. Getting to the gearbox later takes only a few minutes since removal is simply the reversal of fitting.
This mat system is produced by Wright's Off Road in the UK and distributed under Britpart part number DA1746BLACK. It is a direct alternative to the Exmoor Trim Defeater Barrier Mat, part number EXT009-29, so if you have been comparing the two, this is the equivalent R380 solution in black.
