Heat shields

[sunnysr]

I was removing the heatshields from my car and the nde thats under where the peddle box is i had to kind of rip that in half to get if off ,anyway it was full of fibre ,this isnt asbestos is it ,hope now im not going to die just for some weight saving ?

did you eat any ?

[sunnysr]

just a little i wasnt greedy or anything

[jimmyspeed]

you should be fine then , any asbestos exposure isnt great, but the only area i know off that could possible be dangerous is old brake pads. Theres a warning sticker under the bonnet , but knowone makes them with asbestos anymore.

Its more than likely aluminium with fibreglass inside

Asbestosis needs regular exposure to be a major worry to your health and particular types too.

well nice to know i will actually get to do some racing in it , i suspected it would be just fibreglass stuff but just thought i would ask on here as people seem to know every mm of e30`s here so could settle my mind ,if a lung falls out in the next day or two i will be complaining


cheers
