I bought it off Amazon. It was a brand I’ve never heard of, but had good reviews.

your valve stems are solid brass, you can bend them to get clearance just be careful not to kink

I have this set up. Looks like the sensor will rest on the wheel. I can put a sleeve on it to protect it. Will it cause other issues with the valve stem on the wheel?

Looking at cap sensors not flow through.

I have these extenders, except the wire holder is gripping the metal shaft part of the extender. I think that’s the way it’s supposed to fit, so you might try poking yours down.

Cool, thanks.

On my F53 I removed the front extensions and installed the sensor directly to the valve stem. On the rear inside tires I have a friend with small hands and he got them started. On the outside I did them myself.

Take off the valve caps and attach the sensor directly to the valve.

I removed the outer anti-theft coveron all the sensors, reduced the size and weight. The spring clip holding the valve extension is clipped to my wheel liner and not to the wheel. It will align the stem allowing the sensor to sit in the middle of the opening,. Sorry picture did not transmit.
