Bad_Engineering

So you swapped out a few pairs of NOS parts on a couple classics. I worked as an engineer for akebono, one of the biggest brake manufacturers in the world. Almost every European and American manufacturer ditched asbestos around 1990. Some imported “value” pads may contain asbestos, and some classic cars are still gonna have asbestos pads. But the vast majority of cars on the road do not.

Asbestos isn’t used in brake pads anymore, we’ve gone to organo metallic mixtures. So mostly carbon with some iron, manganese, and nickel thrown in.

Red panda, literally the cutest animal ever.

That article says you can’t import a byd unless its a subcompact that you license as a low-speed vehicle. Meaning it can’t go over 35mph, so basically a golfcart.
