Aha!  That explains a lot.  I've never seen a mention of the Wabco push-in
sensors before.  It explains a question I had a year ago...I had removed my
ABS sensors to do some maintenance, and had ordered sensor caps like I
thought I should.  However, upon removing my sensors, it became clear that
the caps were *way* too small for my sensors (which were the push-in kind).
 So I just pushed them back in.  Never had a problem with them afterwards.

Still have a whole bunch of those useless caps lying around
somewhere......SLM
