[Healeys] asbestos lookalike insulation sheet

I have always been told that it is the dust of asbestos that is dangerous, not the board itself. I recall many years ago helping a friend with these on his Austin-Healey and he was totally afraid of even removing these panels, he was wearing a mask, and then a shield and gloves, that’s even before they had these “hazmat” suits. Meanwhile he smoked a pack to a pack and half of cigarettes daily which eventually and unfortunately took his life.

Thank you to everyone regarding the sheet.
I gave it a gentle pry, per Perry's advice, and then one rather less gentle.
It just popped off. Intact and without cracking or breaking.
I wonder if it is asbestos. It looked to be in really good condition, but it
was there when I bought the car back in '96.
Anyhow, I was able to easily put the slide's 3 T-nuts in and reinstall the
sheet. All suitably masked of course.

Simon
Notice the square blocks attached to the big sheet. They have been known to
bond themselves to the bottom of the floor pan. Gentle pry them loose.
