Drilling DPE's for TPMS?
Anyone in Nor-Cal area done this? Manu sent me some directions on how to do so for the TPMS sensors, though as simple as it is, I'm trying to find someone to do it up in the Nor-cal area that is familiar or has done it before?

Directions from Manu, at DPE
1. The hole will be 180 degrees from the current valve stem hole. 2. Drill half way between the beginning and the end of the radius on the drop center part of the inner [shown in the drawing] 3. AJ then uses a ¼" spot drill to make a small hole so the 7/16" drill does not walk all over the inner. [You can also use a punch or something else if you want] 4. Then drill with the 7/16" drill bit over the hole you spot drilled (or punched). |

its not a slim valve stem, its the base of the tpms that needs to sit in the wheel i assume
either way, tpms works for most wheels, most other wheels that have the deep dish (hre/dpe/iforged, etc) need some sort of strap or extra hole depending on where the valve stem is located |
