I have a 2000. Also have old style CCW 505's. What is the procedure for installing the sensors? I'm told cut off the sensor stem, epoxy sensor to wheel close to wheel valve stem, use large band clamp to hold sensor in place in addition to epoxy. Sound correct? Any other suggestions? Thanks

I have CCW 505's and the sensors just install in place just like the old rims. I dont see a need to mount them using the band clamp method! Unless you have some kind of weird CCW wheels, you should be fine!

Here is a pic of a 2001 and up sensor in a ctock Z06 rim:



Here is a pic of an early and late model snsor side by side:



Here is a picture of the sensor and retaining cap:







Just incase you decide that you want to band clamp, here are a couple of pics:





Becareful not to epoxy over the sense hole!!!


Please let me know how you make out mounting them.

Thanks Bill, my 505's are a few years old. The valve stem hole is in a different place as compared to the newer 505's. Thanks for the pics.
