Curly Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 POBCI am exporting my 2003 SV K series to Australia so have to comply with the no asbestos rules. Any thoughts on if there is likely to be an asbestos in the car? I don't believe there is any.The car has the original clutch, gaskets etc, brake blocks are new this year.ThanksCurly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baggiebird Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Hi. I have done a lot of work with asbestos issues over the years. It is highly unlikely that there are asbestos fibres present in friction materials post 2000, unless they were old stock that had been sat on a shelf.The only way to be 100% sure of course would be to have a sample of the relevant friction material analysed at a UKAS accredited laboratory.

fatal3rror Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Curly - did you ever get to the bottom of this? I am looking into taking my 7 to Oz when we move later this year and this was one of the things that came up. Will be great to learn more about your experience of moving the vehicle - will PM you.
