LT77 rubber mounts

Between the two bobbins is a vertical bolt with a bush - I'm guessing it's to put some compression on the bobbins so the rubber isn't pulled off the metal ends but how much does the bolt need to be done up?

I've removed mine, so its not used.

The rover SD1 manual calls it a "snubber", and it has a 3mm gap between the underside and the gearbox mounting cross member, so its not actual touching anything.

I would love to know what it actually does....hopefully some one has the answer.

Interesting - I just assumed it was to stop any twisting motion from putting the bobbins under tension but maybe not...

I think its there to assist the other rubbers in the event of shock which may cause the box to dip hard down onto the other rubbers.

There is s bolt with a circular rubber fitted into this hole. The rubber is on the outside into a concentric hole in the chassis transmission mounting bracket. Its there to limit turning of the engine due to torque
