The retainer plate (SKU 515467) secures components within the rod-operated handbrake mechanism on the LT230 transfer box assembly. It locates and holds the handbrake internals in correct alignment, preventing lateral movement that would cause inconsistent braking performance or premature wear of the operating rod and associated components. Failure or loss of this plate typically results in a sloppy handbrake action or inability to hold the vehicle on a gradient. Key Features Retainer plate designed specifically for rod-operated handbrake systems on LT77, LT85, and LT230 transfer box configurations On Series 2, 2A, and Series 3 applications, this plate is retained by a spring clip rather than bolts - parts 515467, 515468, and 515470 are required together Direct OEM-specification replacement; no modification required for correct fitment Inspect the operating rod, clevis pins, and handbrake drum for wear when replacing this plate Vehicle Fitment Fits Defender (1986–2006) up to VIN LA935629, Discovery 1 (1989–1998) up to VIN 28D283204E, Range Rover Classic with rod-operated handbrake up to LA647644, and Series 2, 2A, and Series 3 models with the later-type rod-operated handbrake system.
