Mudmonkey Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Just a bit of nerdy fun more than anything. I bought this gearbox tunnel (green one) assuming it was an R380 tunnel. It was in good condition and I painted it with the rest of my panels, then when I went to fit the tunnel realised it actually doesn’t fit. Pictures below of the tunnel beside an actual r380 tunnel, I’m at a complete loss of what it could be from. My only thought is from the crossover between LT77 and R380? But that would have required a different carpet set as well?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil110 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 judging by the significant "Hump" it could well be the tunnel for the LT85 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Member Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Pretty sure the LT85 is different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketomcat Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 The black one is r380 (I have a mould for them). The green looks lt85. Neither of them are lt77 that much is certain. Fridge had one (green one) in his ambulance (v8) and couldn't work out why the carpet set and gearsticks (had an r380 fitted at some point) didn't sit right. I made him a r380 tunnel and all was fixed. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Left is what was in our V8 127, right is what fitted with the R380 (made by @miketomcat): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudmonkey Posted January 22, 2019 Author Share Posted January 22, 2019 Mystery solved then, it looks to be an LT85 tunnel, I'm sure it'll come in handy in the future. The other one in my picture is an R380 one which is now painted and fitted to the truck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil110 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 (edited) If it proves to be the tunnel for the LT 85, MUC4319, for goodness sake don't get rid of it. They are obsolete and last known price was. £577.27 + tax Though according to www.thepart.com dunsfold are showing 4 in stock However if you wanted the tunnel for the V8 with LT95 gearbox, that is equally obsolete but cost £7.79 +tax and according to www.thepart.com nobody on earth has stock Edited January 23, 2019 by neil110 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
