: 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 Go JOe and David... It's neat to read we;; thought out and informed responses like yours... thanks ED |
