I would replace the aluminium mounting brackets with the ora up rated steel transfer box mounts. The original alloy mounts arnt very strong, I broke one on my last off road trip but fortunately I'd I fitted a transfer box gaurd which ment I could get home with a broken transfer box mount.

Apparently landrover engine mounts fit the jimny transfer box mounts and are cheap.

I have taken a chance and ordered them. If your ORA guard fits then its likely my Jimny Bits one will too.

I can always shim the mounts with more washers if needed to raise the TB up a bit.

My mounts arrived today.

You can remove the rubbers to bring them down to the same height as the current stock mounts, which is what I have done (so you only need two of the three). However, I only managed to fit one of the three tonight :blush:

Morning

These trailmaster transfer box mounts - like any other uprated mounts of this kind - should be fitted in sandwich fashion, like this -

Apologies for the sketch, but you get the idea...?
