Your sinking brake pedal may be caused by air bubbles in the brake lines.
Take your DeLorean to your local reliable auto repair or brake specialty
shop and ask them to bleed the brake lines.

The asbestos like item you are describing is the muffler heat shield part
no. 106931 available from us or your favorite DeLorean part supplier.
