Defender Moulded Matting System in Black – Fits from 1994-2006 – 300TDI and TD5 – By Wright’s Off Road

The Black Moulded Matting System has been specifically designed to increase ride comfort by greatly reducing heat and road noise. The 3 piece matting system is manufactured entirely from black cast dense polyurethane using precision injection mould tooling.
The black floor matt is a one piece floor section that covers the driver’s / passenger’s foot-wells and the gearbox tunnel. This design feature ensures maximum soundproofing and heat suppression.
The black one piece seat box cover encases the 3 open sides of the seat box to also greatly reduce noise and heat. Once the supplied firewall section is installed sound and heat reduction will be drastic.
The kit is available for Series IIs & IIIs standard gearbox and for all Defenders both with *LT77, R380 and *ZF Automatics & the new Puma

FAQ’s
Q. Does the acoustic mat system fit Lightweights?
A. It has been fitted to lightweights but it wasn’t designed to and it’s a tricky job. It involves a lot of cutting.
Q. What about seat box lids?
A. The seat box mat has witness marks on its under side corresponding to all the features of the seat box. It can be cut to your individual requirements using a HD craft knife.
Q. What about the trapped water?
A. Anything you put on the floor will trap water/condensation, even the new mats supplied by Land Rover. As the acoustic mat system is a hard wearing secondary surface you now have the ability to rustproof the inner surfaces of the floor. You will find that it is only a small amount of water and does dry out.
Q. What does the foam do?
A. There is closed cell foam in the area of the footwells and floor panels. It is there to take some weight out of the mat and provide more comfort under foot. The foam has very little acoustic properties.
Q. How heavy is the system?
A. Approximately 25 kilos of dense polyurethane which is the barrier to noise. This is equivalent to having a spare wheel and tire spread over the floor area. This is why it is so effective.
Q. How effective is the mat system?
A. It would be impossible to quote the reduction in decibels as each application would be different. In testing we used a SWB 2A with a NA 2.5 Freight Rover diesel engine. The owner can now have a sensible conversation at full speed!
Q. What if I want to get to the gearbox?
A. In the good old Haynes manual tradition, removal is the reversal of fitting. It takes about 5-10 minutes to remove. You shouldn’t ever need to remove the seat box mat or bulkhead mat, unless you wish to transfer them to a different vehicle.
Q. What if my mats are distorted?
A. In most cases, over time it will return to its cast shape. Try to warm it to speed this up.
