Vintage car parts can contain asbestos, particularly:

'''Brake Components''': Drum brake shoes, disc brake pads, and parking brake linings. Dust accumulated inside brake drums is often highly concentrated with friable asbestos fibres.

'''Clutch Assemblies''': Clutch discs (friction plates) and pressure plate linings regularly contained chrysotile asbestos.

'''Gaskets & Seals''': Engine head gaskets, exhaust manifold gaskets, carburetor base gaskets, and valve cover gaskets.

'''Insulation & Heat Shields''': Firewall insulation padding, transmission tunnel heat shields, hood liners, and exhaust pipe heat wraps.

'''Electrical System''': Vintage alternator/generator internal insulation, wire looms, ignition coil wrappings, and fuse box backing plates.

'''Body & Interior''': Underbody soundproofing/undercoating, body seam sealers, and sound-dampening felt pads under carpets.
