[TR] TR3 Lucas generator rebuild or not?

[Andrew S. Mace]

 As Geo notes, it is worth thoroughly checking the entire system. It could be
the voltage regulator, it could be just generator brushes...or it could be the
generator.

Meanwhile, to me it's a no-brainer. You got 26 years out of it first time
around and another 28 years after the first rebuild; with any luck, this
rebuild should take you to 2043! :)

My red warning light came on yesterday afternoon, all looked ok, belt, wires,
etc. so I need to do something with the generator. Its the car's original and
I had it rebuilt back in 1985. Am I ok to have it rebuilt again or should I
find a new one at this point, I do want to keep a generator on the car. I
have
a very good shop nearby that will rebuild it for 125.00. Thanks
