Legacy,
          Well, you'd best find some of the other posts ;D . Mike and I have been lamenting the absolutely skyrocketing price of the rebuild kits over the last two years. That being said, you can trawl www.thesamba.com classifieds section or a Craiglisting to see if anyone is offloading one cheap. BTW, before you hook in, make sure you don't have the crimped on ring but rather the ring as per the first post.

Micheal, hahamiki@hotmail.com (from Israel and he's on this forum) has repopped the bladder and says a truck air brake servo ring (from a Euro truck) can be used. If you have the ^^ non-crimped ring then see if you can score the bladder.

Hi Sean

I have the crimped on ring on mine I assume that if I want to refurbish one I have to find one with a removeable ring?

Steve,
       No. Just buy the kit that has a removable ring and go for it. The price has dropped down to "reasonable levels" but I'm sure you can find one by shopping around.

To remove the crimped ring, I used a fine tooth mini hacksaw and a screwdriver to peel it up so I could get a pair of pliers on the strip and then just pulled straight up and peeled it off.
