Centre gearbox mount?
While steam cleaning the underside of my 110 ready for rust proofing, I noticed this centre mounting point.
Is that an optional gearbox mounting point for some configurations?

There are many similar threads. There is nothing missing, they are all like that Thumbs Up Possibly a transit mount.

Welcome to the forum.

That bracket is an enigma; there are (largely unconfirmed) rumours that the very first TDCis had a rubber mount there, but now the bracket is a bit like the human appendix - it serves no function at all.

It does however help to boost the membership of forums such as this since it is the traditional first question asked by new owners.

The traditional second question is "is the chukka chukka sound when I switch off the engine normal?" (yes, it is) closely followed by "what is the best tyre to fit?" (harder to give an answer)!

Anyway, welcome, and enjoy your Defender! Thumbs Up
