  CR408 is a 1A 400V diode  (1n4006 should do)

Is there any reaosn not to use a 1N4007 here as well? I generally don't 
buy the other IN400x's as I've yet to find an application where too high 
a PIV is a problem.

Hi
 The only issue I know of is slightly slower
commutation time. Not even noticeable for 50Hz
or 60Hz.
