I got my spare parts and tools together and started with replacing the rotor. It was new but the riveted type and I know those are problematic. Put my spare red rotor in and voila, a fine running 59 TR3A. I spent more time getting my spares together than the time it took to switch the rotor. How do they still sell Lucas logo black riveted rotors. Should be a law against those. So appreciative of everyone’s help.</div><div dir="ltr">Attached pic of the happy owner with his new car. It came from a Morgan dealer in Illinois. They sold it on consignment. Stated that is was restored about 13 years ago. After inspecting, I concur, it was done by someone who knows Triumphs. Lots of correct details and parts. </div><div dir="ltr">Cheers,</div><div dir="ltr">Jim Henningsen </div><div dir="ltr">Ocala fl </div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr"><img src="cid:5C5CF313-173E-4F1A-9482-0F8DC46A0188-L0-001"><br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">On Apr 16, 2021, at 5:43 PM, staffel <staffel@comcast.net> wrote:<br><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><font face="sans-serif">Hi Jim!
