YAAAA! I just pulled my 19LZ apart to find the heat shield on the power trans was covered in asbestos! So, this morning, I took the shield off and generously laquered the "Killer Asbestos" in place. Unless somebody tries to dig it off, it will remain inert. I think that's the best way to handle asbestos. I don't want the EPA come in with their space suits on and declare my apartment a hazardous area, now do I? Icon_wink
