Is the top material made of asbestos?. I'm looking at changing the vibration damper and noticed this material on top of the heat shield. Does anyone know?

Hi mate.
I don't know what it is made of, however i would have thought
asbestos would not be allowed nowdays.
Cheers Mark.

I was told to spray it with black heat shield paint....apparently it seals it (if it were to be asbestos)

I'm pretty sure asbestos was banned in UK in like '60-'70 sort of time
