There are a few people that have made there own plates on here, just remenber if you sell a product to someone and it fails becouse it was not designed right they will be coming after you for the cost of the repairs.

hey you have a 95 Lesabre....im trying to figure out how to remove starter....and we had a problem...car would run great, then the starting got slow....turned it off, and it finally went to no Crank at all. All guages work...heat blows full, so i eliminated battery, and alt. since radio and everything still works. There is no click from starter selenoid, and there is power to the starter. The car just wont crank at all....have you had this problem? Its my buddies car and its the same thing as yours.

I would check the resistance on the battery cables the postice battery cable on mine had high resistance everything would work but when I went to crank it nothing happened
