405 brakes

Post by caveman_si »

Will a set of brake drums from a 96 405 fit a 94 405???
Ive got to overhaul the back brakes at some point in the future and ive just seen some drums going dirt cheap and just wondering if they will fit????
Thought id best check, its annoying going to the shop and finding there is Xnumber of possible replacement parts for the bit you want depending on what day of the week, if it was sunny or whether it was before lunch when they built your car! even worse when you have got home and the car is in bits and you find out!!!
cheers si

What matters is the manufacturer of the brakes. Peugeot have this lovely purchasing policy of buying whatever the cheapest brakes are on the market. So one month they will be using Girling, the next it will be lockheed, the month after that it will be another make (the name escapes me) and then back to girling again. The discs/drums are USUALLY the same diameter/thickness etc, but there is no subsitute for measurements. Plus I get the feeling that some models had larger rear drum brakes than others... not sure though..
Hasn't helped at all really has it?
