Alternator Brushes

[Andy B]

Looking for a set of brushes to refurbish my ducellier 40amp alternator… cannot find type on plate but there is a number on sticker… can’t find it in the Haynes manual? Can anyone identify type & point me in the right direction to get some cheers

It's a Ducellier 514012 A (or B-C-D) alternator.
Before replacing the brushues and regulator (it comes in 1 piece) check the slip rings and the two bearings first, they could be worn.
Replace parts are here https://www.renault4onderdelen.nl/W...koolborstels-tbv-Ducellier-514011-514012.html
or here https://www.melun-retro-passion.com...ur-renault-r4-r5-r9-r14-r18-r20-r30-a310.html

When it can't be changed because of worn slip rings/ bearings than change the alternator with a Valeo 433446 alternator or https://www.melun-retro-passion.com...ernateur-50-ah-renault-r4-moteur-cic-688.html.
Be sure to obtain a Cleon engine generator and not a Billancourt engine alternator because the generator cooling fan and rotation is different.
