The problem comes when someone wire wheels one of these items and inhales the dust. Are there any specific years/parts/tools(in tool kits) that we should take extra precautions with while restoring? | | | | | Joined: Aug 2007 Posts: 1,859 Grumpy old guy playing with trucks, cars, and boats | | Grumpy old guy playing with trucks, cars, and boats Joined: Aug 2007 Posts: 1,859 | cadmium, asbestos, etc. all part of vehicle manufacturing for a while. Cadmium was used up until the late 80's on plated parts.
The problems we face today can not be addressed at the same level of intelligence we were at when we created them - Albert Einstein Or with the same level of $ - Me

Heck, life itself is hazardous to your health. Enjoy your hobby. | | |
