Hello,
I am looking a series 3 gearbox tunnel cover, I just bought a new bulkhead and the old cover doesnt seem to fit, its about a 1/2 of play in it. Any help would be appreciated. Video attached to show the problem.

Re: Series 3 gearbox tunnel cover
Hello
A lot or rover panels really do not fit very well even from the factory so you may have to do a bit of bending to make things line up. Normally you need lots of caulking or rubber strips between panels to seal things up but 1/2 inch is a bit wild.
I would try laying in your floor boards next and see what they look like, they are all kind of connected.
Good luck Victor

Re: Series 3 gearbox tunnel cover
You say “new” bulkhead. Is this just a used but “new” to you bulkhead? or a newly fabricated bulkhead?

Hello JP
The series 3 bulkheads cover almost a 13 year span and there were quite a few changes that happened to the bulkheads over that time period so your 3 cover might be for a different specification. My advice is that you contact 3 brothers and get them to help you source the correct cover to match your specific bulkhead. I have had very good luck with them in the past so I think they should be able to help you.
Regards, Rob

Re: Series 3 gearbox tunnel cover
From your video, it looks like you got the tranny cover for the one piece combined floor board, but need the one for the multi-piece floor boards.
Download the zipped parts manual from:
https://www.landroverweb.com/landrover/ ... catalogue/
In the pdf # 9, pages 11 and 13 show these 2 variations of tunnel covers with part numbers.
Good luck!!
