countrytravler Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Just came across this thread. Any info on the teens, 20 stuff would really help. Wish Roy Brister was still here:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 1930 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I am quite certain that Roy Brister had forgotten more than I will ever know about 4 cyl D.B cars but I can help with a photo I believe but everyone needs to understand that everything takes time, relax, give it a few days if need be. I do not mind and enjoy looking for the answers myself but the time involved is just tremendous unless of course you would prefer that answered are just spewed out without regards to accuracy, I know no-one wants that so just give it time.

Guest 1930 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Hit nail on head. A lot of time goes into research.If you are interested the D.B club sells a CD set ( 4 or 5 cds ) of all their old back issues, the info found within these is tremendous. Its a great place to start if you are interested in living up to the Roy Brister JR title.Cheap by the way, maybe 40 bucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have a vast amount of years left to learn the teens and 20s like Roy did. I got to know Roy through Mike at DCV. We were hauling cars and parts for him. Also sold him a 2004 Dodge dually p/u. Roy was a really neat guy and a lot of fun to be with. Roy Brister is extreamly missed along with Mike Northcutt from DCV, Tom Bryant from Plydo and Al Smith from Ram. A lot of knowledge and talent gone in the last 10 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nearchoclatetown Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Email AACA library. The DBC stores it's literature there. We own that issue and you can get a copy for a few bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0great1 Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 (edited) Does anyone happen to know what the size of the brushes in the starter generator were supposed to originally be? I found one broken on mine hoping to fabricate one if I can figure out the size Edited December 30, 2021 by 0great1 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAH Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Ogreat1, What model N/E starter/generator is on your car? On a '16 it could be a 4 wire model D OR a Model G single wire. You mention one brush is broken That means you should have the other one for physical specs. On the model D they use 4 curved bar brushes and very hard to find. On the model G both top brushes (main brushes) are identical. The 'third' brush on the bottom is for charging circuit and physical dimensions are basically the same except the top brushes are copper infused carbon while the bottom brush is plain carbon AND slightly thinner. They are getting hard to find in original condition. Aftermarket units are available. check with DBC vendors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAH Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Ron, It looks like you have a retired Military truck. It would not have starter/generator or battery and that ignition switch would, I believe, be different with NO electric lights. Also be aware there were two different Roller Smith ammeters. The early one fastened to dash with three screws in rim and handled starter current as well as charging current. The one like shown in your pix is later '16-'17 and mounts with rear bracket. It handles ONLY charge current and will NOT work as a replacement on earlier cars with the Model D starter/generator. Check with Doug 'Nearchocolatetown' for more info on the military trucks and dash, etc. Also remember the dash boards for RHD are all different as well.
