: Hi Folks,
: I have some more info about my molded brake linings. They were manufactured by P.T. Brake Lining Co., Inc. of Lawrence MA. I don't think they're around anymore as the label appears quite old!
: The edge code reads AFC6FEFC. According to Joel Rapose's chart, FE is asbestos. The rest of the edge code however is a mystery to me. If they do have asbestos in them, is this stuff really that dangerous if proper ventilation/respiration procedures are followed? It's my understanding that the asbestos linings stopped the cars the best. Any feedback is as ususal greatly appreciated.
: Regards,
: Kevin Daly
