well done...i was thinking the same thing...one question....dont the sensors turn themselfs off when not moving to conserve energy....do they still wake up and tell the car they are there while they are in your toy??

sorry ...i didn't take pics....... the key is obviously to get a good seal on the endcaps....the valve stem has a rubber washer on the inside...and I had to countersink the hole on the end cap with the air valve in it so i could get the nut on the back side...

My thoughts exactly. Be funny if the cops see it in his trunk and bring in the bomb squad to detonate his tire sensors.
