<p>Jim,</p>
<p>I have never had a 3 or 4 rotor failure but I did have a failure
on my 6. I keep spares in the trunk of every car along with a
coil.</p>
<p>That is one good looking 3. Any idea of what your friend paid?
Just curious.</p>

<div dir="ltr">Thank you all for your recommendations. 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>
