Hello

cheers

just need to know what way round to fit?

So the sensor goes towards the centre of the wheel, not the rim.

not sure i can do that lol my valve exit is in the middle of the rim.

ill get 2 pics tell me what is best

8Nm is correct & they only fit one way (flat side with information on is facing outwards with other side against the dish of the wheel)

like this?

Also is this all I need or should I have a seal kit as well?

The sensor is in the right orientation.
You don't need a seal kit (the seal kit is basically the piece that clips into the sensor body)

8nm I can confirm. Had mine changed last month.
