I can get it done up here Topper and likely cheaper than what it would cost to ship it but thanks very much for the offer. There might even be a guy here in town I'm told does auto A/C

Don't tell me that license plate was actually available, boy are you a lucky guy. But no body deserves to display it more than you do. There are very few people that could take a piece of rusty Swiss Cheese, and turn it into a sparkling Diamond, as you have.

I'm using the same ones I used in my panel, about the cheapest on the market I could find and so far they have worked real good in the panel..

OK the same as I purchased for mine , some how they screwed up and sent me 2 sets 3 days apart but with the cost of shipping I might as well keep the extra one ( if I send it back I will undoughtedly break something when installing ).

John I would be more than happy to ship you one for whatever it cost me . I would think Purolator would only take a few days .
