There’s no valve, it’s just either a short tube with a hose barb for a vacuum/pressure line or a hose barb right at the bladder. Valving is a function of the PSE. -D > On Jan 19, 2020, at 9:43 PM, Curley McLain via Mercedes > wrote: > > I would think the EPDM roofing would work, but finding

I would think the EPDM roofing would work, but finding the valve fitting might be a trick. I've never had or seen an ortho seat, so I don't know what they look like or how they work.   I wonder if vacuum bags used to make composites would work.  or the composite cryovac bags that boxed beef etc

Cool. I have never seen those seats. It would be pretty easy to make any shape out of Orca hypalon. The glue is readily available, as are fittings. It is extremely tough. Getting some little patterns made from the old bladders would be the only hard part, pretty much. K On Sun, Jan 19, 2020, 10:

Not worth the effort. The material they used is a heavy vinyl that’s heat sealed and formed to match the contours of the seat back or bottom, depending on the location of the bladder. The only one that’s a basic geometric shape is the lumbar bladder, which is a square. The material is not “stre

The only bummer about ortho seats is that by now most, if not all, of the inflatable bladders are leaking or failed and they’re all NLA, I believe. Same with the W140. Last time I checked the only bladder that you could get for a W140 was the lumbar. The seat base and side bladders were NLA a lo

I totally agree with Jaime’s mindset on this sort of thing, as well as his observation of W140 values. I would caution anyone to avoid W140s unless you know them well and can clearly assess condition. Due to their complexity, there’s a lot of “fixes” that can be hidden if you’re not dialed into
