Re: [Peugeot-L] Peugeot newbie owner of a 68 404 Estate work in progress

Mark,

68-70 404 wagons had Twinplex drum brakes without power assist, so yours are probably stock. The Thermostable system with Hydrovac was discontinued in 67. Tail lenses on wagons are very vulnerable to damage; good ones are scarce. I probably have one or two which are intact if I really look around.
