Hi Tony!
Well it can be a little brittle but if you pre drilled the holes 1st you should be right. In the Aust Chev CMPs the sheeting was held in place with fold over tabs. If I was doing it I would also use use a product like "Sikaflex" as a form of glue to help it keep inplace. Oh just as a word of warning dont be tempted to use any realy old "fibro" say at least pre mid 80's as the older it gets the greater the chance it will contain asbestos and it will also be breaking down with age. Phil...

Cab 12 solution
My solution has been to leave the original asbestos board in place and cover it completely with wide alumunium duct tape. It adheres very well and keeps the asbestos under wraps - even maybe adds some more (reflective) heat insulation. The adhesive seems to hold up to the engine/exhaust heat.
I figure this is safer than fiddling with the million little staples to get the old asbestos off and breathing in the debris meanwhile.

I figure you should remove the asbestos outside when there's a cross wind so you won't breathe any of it in.

Think of the positive side of asbestos.....
Maybe the little field mice that have chewed up all the wiring insulation and carried away 95% of the asbestos are now coughing their little lungs out inside the some walls of my barn.....
