I also found that the white connectors under the seat were all cracked so I just joined the hoses on each site of one of the black nipple connectors
The bladders are a VERY difficult part to find, not many people carry them. I had standing orders with both Corvette Central and Eklers for over 4 months and neither could get them in stock. I was finially able to find one at this place:

You will need a good set of cutters to cut about 10-15 hog rings to get the bladder out. You will need to buy a set of hog ring pliers and a couple bags of hog rings to re-secure the seat cover to the foam. Take some pictures as you go to help you remember where the hog rings go. Yeah, it's a lot of work for little gain, but my I can't seem to shake this anal-retentive nature I have for everything to be working.
