Default Old brake shoes- Asbestos warning

Another thing to consider is what are the linings made from?

I have a NOS set of shoes and linings which have a distinctive blue/green hue to them and was told by a brake shop they contain asbestos of the worst kind.
You know- Midnight Oil's "Blue Sky Mining"

I replaced all mine with modern asbestos free linings and have left the blue/green ones in permanent storage and will probably never use them. I am even loathe to put them on Ebay because of what they may contain. I don't want to suck up asbestos dust in years to come or would wish anyone else to do so on something I sold them.

So much WW2 stuff contains asbestos so best to check.

Cheers,
