[Healeys] Asbestos lookalike insulation sheet

[Ian Hey]

There are six welded studs in the floor which hold the heat shield in place.
Behind (above) the heat shield there are square pieces (about 1" square) of
insulation to space the insulation off the floor.  These will probably be
stuck to the floor.  Due to the studs one cannot persuade the heat shield
from above, but prising next to each removed nut should remove the sheet.

 

The heat shield is indeed asbestos.  I have just today got rid of my old
heat shield in the UK by taking it to the Council tip, at zero cost.  It was
necessary to notify them in advance and they sent red bags for the waste,
together with a licence for asbestos disposal.

 

I used RCM Siltech board (Fire rated Calcium Silicate board) as a
replacement when I made new heat shields.  I chose this due to it having the
lowest thermal conductivity of any of the similar available boards.
