Tire pressure sensors
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!

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

Re: Tire pressure sensors
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

Re: Tire pressure sensors
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.

Re: Tire pressure sensors
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.

Re: Tire pressure sensors
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!

Re: Tire pressure sensors
The stickers are different for different MYs I have some for the 1990 MY if you are looking for 1990.

Re: Tire pressure sensors
Check with Corvette Central or Ecklers. If memory serves I think they may have the later MY stickers.
