<p class="MsoNormal">Wouldn’t disagree with your assessment Ed. The familiar Lucas trademark is now owned by another company and the contents in those modern boxes are far from dependable. Mostly mucho cheapo from China or Taiwan. Don’t know if the Intermotor
brand is known in the US but I used their stuff for years on my Triumphs and never had issues. Maybe I was just lucky but I worked with Intermotor for years marketing a lot of their stuff overseas when I worked for Hardy Spicer Driveline and we had very few
problems. They’re not necessarily the cheapest around but I never bought purely on price for business or personal use.<o:p></o:p></p>

Those Lucas parts were as good or better than any of the other electrical suppliers of their time.

<p class="MsoNormal">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.

<p class="MsoNormal">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. <o:p></o:p></p>
