Heh, yeah, but I was under the impression that the whole thing would be made of asbestos, hence why asbestos brakes are much more efficient than what they use nowadays. I know the replacement shoes didn't contain asbestos, but there is a chance that these shoes could have been the originals which was why I was querying. My car was manufactured in 96 though so I doubt it.

I'm sure a google would help out, but if you have a bit of info from a known source of quality it'd be good to know! Cheers.
The course was written by HSE anyway so i dont think it can get any more factual than that lol. Will write up a guide anyway on the basics as you might not come across much in a 306 but certainly will in other cars!
Do you know if there is still asbestos used in clutches?
