DA1745GREY – Wright Off Road Acoustic Mat System – Grey – Land Rover Ninety, One Ten & Defender with LT77 Transmission
The Wright Off Road acoustic mat system is a heavy-duty moulded sound-deadening system designed specifically for early Land Rover Ninety, One Ten and Defender models fitted with the LT77 transmission.
Manufactured from dense cast polyurethane, the system is designed to substantially reduce the amount of engine, gearbox, drivetrain and road noise entering the cabin while also helping to reduce resonance through the vehicle’s metal floor and body panels.
Unlike a conventional carpet or lightweight rubber floor mat, the Wright Off Road system forms a substantial secondary floor surface, combining acoustic insulation with a tough, durable and easy-to-clean interior finish.
Vehicle Fitment
Suitable for:
-
Land Rover Ninety – LT77 transmission
-
Land Rover One Ten – LT77 transmission
-
Land Rover Defender – LT77 transmission
Because many older Land Rovers have been modified or had gearbox conversions during their lifetime, we recommend identifying the gearbox or transmission-tunnel type rather than relying solely on the age of the vehicle.
If you are unsure which Wright Off Road acoustic mat system your Land Rover requires, please contact us before ordering.
Why Fit a Wright Off Road Acoustic Mat System?
Traditional Ninety, One Ten and Defender models transmit a considerable amount of mechanical and road noise through the:
-
transmission tunnel
-
footwells
-
floor panels
-
bulkhead
-
seat-box area
The dense polyurethane construction acts as a substantial barrier between these sources of noise and the cabin.
The system also helps reduce panel reverberation and provides additional thermal insulation between the drivetrain, exterior environment and vehicle interior.
Features
Reduces cabin noise
The complete moulded system provides substantial acoustic insulation without the need to rely on separate engine or gearbox blankets.
Heavy-duty construction
The dense cast polyurethane provides a hard-wearing surface designed to withstand constant everyday use.
Easy to fit and remove
The system does not require permanent glueing in place and can be removed or transferred to another compatible vehicle.
Easy to clean
The polyurethane surface is simple to wash and can be hosed clean when required.
Thermal insulation
As well as reducing noise, the system helps insulate the cabin against heat entering through the transmission tunnel and surrounding panels.
Will not rot or absorb water
Unlike felt or conventional carpet insulation, the polyurethane material itself will not rot or retain water.
Resistant to everyday contaminants
The material is resistant to fuel, oil, water and sunlight.
Fire retardant
Recyclable
How Does the System Reduce Noise?
The effectiveness of the Wright Off Road system comes primarily from the mass of the dense polyurethane barrier.
The complete system weighs approximately 25kg, spreading a substantial acoustic barrier across the cabin floor rather than relying on a thin layer of conventional sound insulation.
Closed-cell foam is also used beneath areas such as the footwells and floor panels. This helps reduce the overall weight of the moulding and provides additional comfort underfoot, although the dense polyurethane itself provides the majority of the acoustic insulation.
It is not possible to quote one universal decibel reduction because every vehicle is different. Engine type, gearbox, tyres, existing trim and the general condition of the vehicle will all affect the final result.
What About the Seat-Box Lids?
The underside of the seat-box mat includes moulded witness marks corresponding with the features and access points in the original seat box.
These can be carefully cut to suit the individual vehicle using a suitable heavy-duty craft knife, allowing access to the required seat-box lids and openings.
Can the Mat System Trap Water?
Any floor covering can trap a small amount of moisture or condensation against the vehicle’s metal floor.
One advantage of the Wright Off Road system is that the polyurethane itself does not absorb or retain water like traditional felt or carpet insulation.
Because the system creates a durable removable secondary surface, the underlying metal floor can also be appropriately rustproofed or protected before installation.
Can I Still Access the Gearbox?
Yes.
The system is designed to remain removable rather than being permanently bonded to the vehicle.
If access to the gearbox or transmission tunnel is required, the relevant sections can be removed and subsequently refitted. Removal of the transmission-tunnel section typically takes only a few minutes once familiar with the installation.
Will It Fit a Land Rover Lightweight?
The system has been fitted to Land Rover Lightweights, but it was not designed specifically for this application.
Fitting to a Lightweight requires considerably more trimming and modification, so it should not be regarded as a direct-fit installation.
What If the Mat Arrives Slightly Distorted?
Dense polyurethane mouldings can occasionally become slightly distorted during storage or transportation.
In most cases the material will naturally return towards its original moulded shape over time. Gentle warming can help speed up this process.
Colour
Grey
Other Wright Off Road acoustic mat systems are available in different colours and for alternative Defender gearbox and transmission-tunnel configurations.
