Default Re: Asbestos engine cover lining

Hi David

Not sure what Derek has done but I have removed what was left of the asbestos sheeting. Yes, I snipped of all the wire staples and pulled them. At one point in my work, I was certified in asbestos removal for schools and hospitals so removing it safely was not a concern. I have replacement asbestos sheeting in stock and if I cannot find a good substitute, I will install it the new sheeting after coating it with the encapsulate that is used in abatement work.

I’m torn between originality and practicality while the asbestos is original given the temperature and the noise I think using closed cell rubber foam that is used in commercial heating duct applications may be the way to go.

Cheers Phil

Seeing your comment re "originally asbestos" implies that you have changed materials.
I have been a bit concerned about the fraying asbestos sheets on my cab 12 Ford F8 and have set them aside for now. Did you remove yours? Did you snip all those hundreds of staples or what? And what material did you use instead of asbestos?
