[ROVERNET - UK] Rover P6 / asbestos

[Vern Klukas]

Also, if its a TC, then there is asbestos in the exhaust manifold 
seal rings, between the manifold and the head.

There are also fibre washers used on the exhaust rubber mounts at the 
front of the car that may be asbestos paper, but don't quote me on 
that one.

Yours
Vern
