Autozone shows them in stock for $2.99.   I have extra caps, etc.   I hate to mail order and  wait.    The old one  broke in two at the drive end after the rotor hit an electrode and stopped. The car stopped real quick!! This tends to make me believe that I may have a rotor shaft  getting loose, or more end play issues as I am fond of pointing out.  I'm going to bevel the front edge of the new rotor so that it may glance off any electrode it gets too close to.  Might work, might not .  The spare rotor is a capital idea as I could have installed a replacement and driven home.  As it was it cost me a fish sandwich and a few beers for a buddy to tow me back home.  Still a spare would have been quicker.
