Those part numbers are for Corvette America. I believe these are the GM Part numbers:
· backrest control switch 14079477
· bolster control switch 14079478
· Bladders 14079496

I've gotten a hold of everything but the bladders. GM is out of stock and the remanufacturer (Davies) is out of stock as well. They are apparently the supplier for everyone else.

Davis thinks they may be back up to speed next month but if anyone has a better idea or lead let me know!!

Davie's Corvette hasn't come through with the part yet. Anyone else have any leads/ideas on obtaining two bladders for 1989 sport seats?

Default Well done Davie's

Davie's finally has stock again for the reproduction bladders. My order is now in the mail so hopefully the seats will be completed this week.

I've called Davie's 6 or 7 times over the past few months to get updates on when they would get stock from their supplier. Each time they told me they would let me know when they came in, but were always very pleasant.

When they finally came in, they called me directly. To save time I had them drop ship the part to Corvette America to save a little time on the seat rebuild. They took care of that plus sent me a separate invoice.

With the car in the shop the past 5 months, I've had a lot of pieces delivered directly to the shop. Even though it's a small thing I appreciate the separate invoice for my records that Davie's sent when the actual item went elsewhere.

Sometimes it's difficult to obtain the invoice that had been enclosed with the part.
