As of late Spring 2012 all my genuine red rotors will bear the DD =
marking.

We will gladly advise customers of Bona Fide sources to eradicate this =
problem quickly and positively. We now have 6 part numbers available in =
the RED ROTOR ARMS range, which cover virtually every Lucas distributor =
from the mid 1930=E2=80=99s onwards. =E2=80=9C

I guess you=E2=80=99re in the US and I guess there are reputable dealers =
from whom you can request a red DD rotor.

Certainly, some of the dud rotors were awful & still are for all I know.

Good luck

Who is a good source for distributor rotors.  I recall from discussions =
