I need a Tire pressure sensor for a 1998 Corvette Coupe. Also need 4 sensors for a 1999 Coupe. Anyone have spares for sale?

My problem is I don't have any sensors to rebuild. They were missing when I got the car.

I went with the new sensors and fobs??? The early cars 97-00 use a different sensor and receiver. They are up to $100 per wheel.
I bought a kit that plugs a new receiver right in 4 TPS and 2 fobs all new car GM stuff for $300.
Works great, So what? the early car stuff is harder to get and the price will only go up. You can buy rebuilts as 2K suggests without having cores. They usually go for $30-50. You will need nuts and washers, too.
But I suggest the kit for 300 you have all new stuff. Rebuilts generally have a good chance of working but puttin one in a wheel and finding out it is DOA or dies shortly after really needs to be considered.

I've got a 2000 and plan on the up grade to the newer system as soon as my TPMS blinks. thumbsup (Which could be in the near future.)

Thanks for the information. I sold the car so don't need them now. Bought a 98 coupe with 45K that is a joy when I hear the Corsa Cat Backs talk to me.
