[QUOTE=Scrrem;167315]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:
http://www.corvettepacifica.com/ , Not sure if they are getting any more.

No go at Corvettepacifica. Doesn't look like there are ANY available. I've seen a few threads about using small bicycle innertubes and BP cuffs for DIY repairs. How hard is it to remove replace the hog rings? Just trying to measure effort vs reward.

So this is what they look like. Looks like a prime candidate for a better, longer lasting design.

I need about twice the inflation diameter on the middle one.

I found the easy way to remove the hog rings to to cut them with a good pair of cutters. You will have 6 that ancor the bottom of the seat cover and 3-4 up each side. This will alllow you to pull the cover back and expose the bladder.

Maybe we could get a group buy? I'd get me 2 just to put back.

I wonder if they really have them. I had an order with them for over 4 months and they just kept pushing the arrival date back.
