asphestos??

[jangles]

Hi.. i've stripped the whole moonraker interior of my 1971 bay window - so a hole can be cut to access the fuel tank and pull out all the crap inside there...
While i am at it - i want to recover the hard board interior cards/pannels... So have taken them all off but am worried that the insulation stuff behind them might be asphestos (sorry cant spell properly!!)
Can anyone tell me a yes or no or advise me at all?... i wouldn't have thought it would have been used in a camper van however it was made in 1971 when the harmfull/deadly effects were not known??
Really need/want to get on with what i am doing but too worried to go in the van now!! :roll:
thanks, Rowan.

Asbestos? Never heard of it being used in that way before, fibreglass, yes, but thats ok.

Any concerns wear a dust mask over your face, but I wouldnt stress, I cant think it would be anything like that.
