Make sure to take time out to grab a cold one. Once it hits your lips, it's so good.

OK, so I bought the vesafe unit that there was a link to in the thread.

I assume that the O-Ring that we are talking about is the one on the inside of the TPM that you have to pick out with a pin. It is really not an O-Ring, but a flat disk and you guys are trading those out for a high temp o-ring.

Am I correct with this.

Thanks

Ed

Anyone know the size of the oring for the Versafe tpms cap?

I bought some from McMaster. Got flat orings to size. I will send on the part number I got after I see that they fit.

Thanks

I ordered the Vesafe system from Amazon as well. Could you post the part number for the replacement o-ring once you determine it fits?

Thanks!

For the Vesafe TPMS or similar units, I suspect the alarm it has may need to be enhanced to be useful for my racecar. With open exhaust, my car is loud as sh*t, and I'm guessing I wouldn't hear a dinky beeping alarm. And it wouldn't be practical to visually monitor tire pressures on the display. I'd want to somehow connect it to an external (larger) warning light or something. Anyone have ideas on how to do that?

The O-Ring that I purchased is from McMaster Car. Part number 1182N007. They fit perfectly and held up to my 2008 GT3 Cup at Mid Ohio running all weekend including a 1.5 hour enduro Sunday (that we won) without issue.

The alarm is annoying, fortunately I can not hear it once on track.

Probably my biggest complaint about the system is that the face of the readout is polarized, so with polarized sunglasses, you can not read it if you do not pull them down and look. I had to pick a different pair of sunglasses just so I could see the readout.

Thanks

Ed
