Title: Wanted: Ducellier Alternator 7553A Post by: julian67 on 06 March, 2024, 01:24:47 PM Hi
Would anyone have a good condition Ducellier alternator 7553A + price idea + location? Failing that, where could I get any parts? Not charging, so left it in to an alternator place (Gloucester) who said they don't have or, know where they can source parts. Any tips / suggestions most welcomed Many thanks Title: Re: Wanted: Ducellier Alternator 7553A Post by: lancialulu on 06 March, 2024, 10:19:42 PM Hi I assume you have ruled out the remote regulator?Would anyone have a good condition Ducellier alternator 7553A + price idea + location?

There is live feed from the wires
I thought there was a regulator built in! If it's remote, whereabouts is it? Don't have the car at home, it's at the mechanic's. Thank you Title: Re: Wanted: Ducellier Alternator 7553A Post by: Wangler on 07 March, 2024, 08:18:13 AM It’s a remote unit screwed to the right side of the car behind the headlights, pretty close to the open end of the air intake and easily accessible. It’s a dark brown box somewhat larger than the usual Fulvia relay(s) mounted next to it.
If you buy a new one I would suggest getting a modern solid state unit. Pieces Fulvia sell them. Title: Re: Wanted: Ducellier Alternator 7553A Post by: lancialulu on 07 March, 2024, 08:48:40 AM Julian
take a photo of the burnt wire and post here please. I think some original ducelier regulators are black Bakelite Title: Re: Wanted: Ducellier Alternator 7553A Post by: julian67 on 07 March, 2024, 04:50:26 PM Thank you all for your replies.
The alternator repair shop said they found a faulty rectifier and it's now repaired with 6 month guarantee. Will collect tomorrow. |
