Thanks. I'll just order new sensors because they're extremely cheap and I have an order coming my way from the Classic Center soon anyways. I know I've asked before, but I forget, are you in the 757?

Get off me. The water was above the bottom of the brake calipers (i.e. the lower sensors were completely submerged).
