I as a motor apprentice, I spent many hours grind the asbestos brake linings, fitted to brake shoes, with the dust clinging to face, hair and clothing. We were not told of its effects, or the dangers of contact with this product.

I knew a family of father and three sons that operated a Brake and Clutch shop, in the 70s, they all died from Asbestoses. I just try to ignore the fact that I may end up the same.

Harvey, I'm very sorry to hear that. My thoughts are with you & your family. Unfortunatly James Hardie is still alive and well. In fact, it was just being installed on a neighbor's house last summer.
