Kurt -

If your rotor is the kind with a brass rivet, that's the problem.  80%
of the new rotors sold out there are no good.  Order a pair of new
rotors from Norman Nock at BCS or Cape International in the UK - they
have good rotors.  Chances are your spare won't last either if the
same as the new one that just went bad, don't drive too far from home
until fixed!
