See earlier post... there is a manufacturer date stamp on the sensor body that will tell you how old they are... the new sensors I just bought for my Z were stamped 4/04 and 5/04. The old style sensors from the wheels that I just removed from my 98 to install on the Z (purchased 3/04) were stamped 8/03 and 5/03. Fitchner sells a lot of sensors... I doubt they have anything on the shelf that is over a year old!

So there is a date stamp on the earlier '97-'00 style sensors too? If so, then that's probably the way to go. Does anyone know how much a new set will cost for the earlier stlye sensors?
