Default TPMS "fit kits" (for reinstalling a sensor in a wheel)

Where is the best place to buy?

I am looking for a kit with the washer, nut, rubber grommet and valve core (nickel cores). Didn't have much luck with the search function.

Thanks,
Justin

Ok, I did some calling and the 42607-30030 TPMS sensors for my car call for a "fit kit" with a part number of 04423-35020 (per the local Lexus dealership, $13/wheel). The Toyota equivalent is 04423-0C070 (according to a Toyota dealership, $6.20/wheel).

These kits include the cap, nut, metal washer and rubber grommet.

I still need to find the correct valve cores for my TPMS sensors. Can anyone help me out with a part number or dealer?

Thanks.

any non brass (read: silver) colored valve core will work just fine...

Thanks for the response.

After a few calls yesterday, I was able to get a TPMS sensor "fit kit" from a local Firestone service station. The kits are $4.00 for each sensor so $17.08 (tax added) did a set of 4 wheels.

The kit includes an aluminum washer, aluminum nut, rubber grommet and nickel-plated valve core. I test fit all of the hardware last night. It appears to be a perfect fit. I’ll report back once I get my Blizzaks mounted and balanced.

My questions seem very noobish in hindsight, but this is the first car I’ve owned with a TPMS.

For anyone searching for TPMS rebuild/fit kits in the future, you can also try these part numbers from the dealer:
Lexus: 04423-35020 ($13.00/wheel)
Toyota: 04423-0C070 ($6.20/wheel)

I am told either will work. This was according to two local dealers. Prices will likely vary.
