... my grand mother use to say...."You have to eat a pound of dirt before
you die".
So I guess there's no sense worrying about it.

Yeah and the insulation in my 69 Camaro is an asbestos base as well.
Asbestos is everywhere even in old packing materials we open from all these
1940's NOS parts.
Which is worse for us MV vehicle collectors and restorers the Asbestos
insulation on the armor exhausts and firewalls or the old military Radios
and vehicle Gauges with Radium?
Should we all be wearing Dust respirators when working around this stuff
even when opening old parts boxes... YOU BET.
