[ROVERNET - UK] Rover P6 / asbestos

[John Atkin]

Hi Fritz,
Most auto-motive asbestos is in brake linings so when changing them, wear a
mask if blow cleaning the components, that's the usual way that garage
mechanics get problems, inhaling the dust but there are usually warnings all
over the workshop.
best wishes
John
