Hi,
A local well known and respected shop relines clutches using asbestos. Other
than Kevlar, asbestos supposedly handles the heat and wear much better than
the current day materials being used. When I replaced my TR6's clutch last
year, I bought a B&B arrangement from one of the British car parts suppliers,
but if it proves to be short lived, I'll give the asbestos a try. My other
British car has a rebuilt clutch with the asbestos material, but it's too
early to compare.
