[TR] distributor rotors -- where to get the "good" ones in the US?

Currently, and for the second time in two years, a buddy's MGA 1500 is 
running on one of my good, used, possibly 40-plus-year-old spare 
original Lucas rotors. Yes, it's the second time in two years that a 
modern Lucas 400051 has failed suddenly in his car, and the second time 
I got him going instantly with an old rotor I pilfered out of my 
Standard Pennant distributor! (I know this has become an all-too-common 
problem for many.)

I know I can get the "good" rotors to replace the Lucas 400051 (and/or 
equivalent) from several sources in the UK, such as the Distributor 
Doctor. Are there sources in the US for these?

TIA....
