RE: [Peugeot-L] 604 to 504 suspension swap

Hi Andrew  

I contacted Mr. McBean twice, but I have not heard back from him. His site has been extremely valuable to me (along with www.504.org <http://www.504.org/> , www.garage24.net <http://www.garage24.net/> and www.michaelsemmler.de <http://www.michaelsemmler.de/> ) and I would certainly appreciate any advice he could offer, but I figured should not impose on him a third time. As for the 604 mirror, it is already gone. I will keep my eyes open for you, though.

Hi Thanos

I suggest that you have a chat to Dave McBean. He is very knowledgeable and very easy to talk to! He certainly won't bite off your head! If you need contact information, I'm sure that there is some on his site (its been a while since I looked there) or I can find some for you.

With your 604 that you are parting out, what external mirror (if any) does it have? I'm looking for a LH chrome mirror with the chrome interior control. If that is what you have and want to get rid of it, I'm definitely interested!

Cheers (from Down Under!)

Andrew
