What are the options on sensor replacements? I just replaced tires and the shop that put tires on before did not line up sensor with decal on rims and also put them right at the edge of the rim. The tire shop hit them when they broke down the bead and they shattered. Rear wheels were fine. Thanks!

If you want to keep stock system, EBay probably is the best bet. Sensors are specific to each corner I think.

I have looked there but was wanting to try to find some magic stash that had new. Looks like I don't have an option except for used. Yes, they are color coded for each wheel location. Thank you! Don

After a genius at Costco broke one two years ago when replacing the tires, I (Costco) bought a NOS on eBay. Didn?t work. Ended up duct taping the one they broke to the clamp - used the good stuff you can?t tear by hand. Works fine.

You do not necessarily need the exact color sensor. I recall an article posted by the National Corvette Restorers Society that outlined how to adapt any sensor to function to at the wheel position where it is needed. If I find a link I'll post it.

There was at one time, someone remaking the stickers for these that go on the outside of the wheel. Does anyone know who that was, or who might have some? Thanks!

The stickers are different for different MYs I have some for the 1990 MY if you are looking for 1990.

Thank you. I'd need them for a '95.

Check with Corvette Central or Ecklers. If memory serves I think they may have the later MY stickers.

Thank you. Just checking on both and not finding them offhand. I'll keep searching, though. To my surprise, however, Corvette Central has brand new NOS rear GM A-Molds for the ZR-1. They are $1,591 *each*!
Appreciate it!

They appear to be NLA at Corvette Central. I believe they were GM part # 10180847 for the 91 to 96 MY.

They are pricey.
