Yeah, and sometimes the mere act of taking them off and on and the rotor
will miraculously repair it self :)
Something else I carry is a large pencil eraser. Once over will get rid of
many problems.

have found out a few times in the last ten years. If you possibly can find

I apologise for repeating myself to the list but it's important that the
newer listers know about this.

I couldn't agree more, David, and I would add only this:
When you replace an old Lucas rotor with a new (hopefully Lucas) rotor,
throw the old one... into the glovebox, along with the rest of the stuff you
replace inside the distributor! Truth be told, this is not an item I've
replaced
all that often over the last (mumble mumble) years. Most of the time, they
clean up well ("dress" them up a bit with some very fine sandpaper or the
like)
and can be used for a long time.
