Subject: [TR] cap and rotor advice
Hi Terry,
I read an article in Hemmings Sport & Exotic Car, about a company in Texas
that was manufacturing its own authentic rotors for British cars due to the
problems folks were having with the aftermarket rotors. I was going thru
two to three per season and would always have two in the glovebox for quick
retrieval. Anyway, I called the guy at Kip Motors in Texas,
www.kipmotor.com and ordered one. It was expensive at $19 but he said it
was a quality item that would not fail. I have one season in with about 2k
miles and no troubles to report. The website is rather lame but they are
very helpful when you call.

The list has seen innumerable mentions of unreliable rotors. But one thing
I don't remember seeing is advice on where the best rotors are from? ISTR
that the small brown rotors have given me no trouble, while I also STR that
the small black ones failed once or twice.
Is there a source for guaranteed quality out there? Not to drag a debate
around our otherwise superb array of parts suppliers into the list, feel
free to e-mail me offline.
Thank you, everyone.
Terry Smith,
