Thought I'd toss out an idea after a recent thread on this list
mentioned the lack of sources for replacement air bladders. I have
two 4 seaters with spring seat frames so I have no current need to
pursue a source. Good hunting to those who do.
Thumbing through the latest issue of NASA Tech Briefs, I happened upon
an ad for ATL Flexible Bladders. I don't know if anyone has contacted
them before but it might be worth a shot.
ATL is a well known manufacturer of safety fuel cells and bladders and
they make other custom inflatables for industrial applications. I
suggest someone contact them and perhaps send a failed bladder to see
what they might quote for 50 or 100 pieces. They can be reached via:
