Frequently asked questions

What is the 217978 stud used for?

The 217978 is a threaded stud for the Land Rover Series gearbox and transfer box main casing. It's listed as a 5/16 BSF x 5/16 UNC stud, threaded BSF one end and UNC the other, used to locate and clamp casing components on the transmission.

Which Land Rover models does this stud fit?

This stud is listed for the Land Rover Series 2, 2A and 3 (1958-1985), used on the gearbox and transfer box main casing. Fitment records for this early part are limited, so confirm the thread and length against the stud you're replacing.

What thread does the 217978 stud have?

The 217978 is listed as a 5/16 BSF x 5/16 UNC stud, meaning one end is 5/16 British Standard Fine and the other 5/16 Unified Coarse. The BSF end typically screws into the casing while the UNC end takes the nut. Match both threads before fitting.

Has this stud been replaced by a newer part?

The 217978 is superseded by part number 217978G, the later replacement code for the same Series transfer box casing stud. Either typically covers the same application. Confirm the thread specification matches, since Series fasteners changed between BSF and UNC over the run.
