Asbestos

[Pnoddy]

Can anyone tell me what parts of the Mk2 BX have asbestos in them? I'd just like to know before I do too much cutting or drilling or any of that sorta thing. I don't need it in detail just a list of what parts use asbestos.

As a side note, apparently the stuff is used in EVERYTHING in old(ish) homes, pipe insulation, floor tiles, those black toilet cisterns, loads of stuff (ok maybe not everything HA)

Potentially the clutch friction plate and brake pads may contain it - I think it was banned in ~2003. I certainly wouldn't worry about the possibility of it being anywhere else! Where we you thinking of drilling?

To be honest Mat, it was just a case of if I was removing the interior or pulling out some of the insulation/lining thats on the chasis behind the dash and under the carpet, I wanted to be sure its not going to kill me. Death would seriously hamper any restoration timeframe I might have.

You should be fine, it's a slow lingering death anyway

[really?]

could be in the bitumastic pads stuck to the inside of doors etc. damp the area down with a bit of thin pva if you need to drill or grind it. it supresses the the dust. should chip off with a screwdriver/ chisel combo.
