I went and purchased 6 bladders from an old post from kenpeindl
which are blood pressure bladders. I have new foam and leather to install.
My question is does anyone know what adhesive or tape to use to hold these
bladders in place? It looks like they also must be folded in half and taped!
These are on 87 sport seats.

When I did my prior '88 sport seats I had to hog-ring the bladder perimeters into the seat back.

I did my '87 the same way you are doing yours (using the BP cuff bladders). Yes, they must be folded in half. Below is a pic of how I laid mine out on the lower seat back cushion before replacing the seat cover. Once you recover the seat, they can not go anywhere. I used a little electrical tape to hold them in place until recovering was completed. Worked like new after the replacement. Did you rebuild your pumps as well?

Hope this helps.

Looks like the way to go Dave!
Yes had to rebuild pumps, and am trying Tech-Bond on broken Teflon
parts in Gearbox...

Is there any videos of the bladder install that you guys used?

Nope. I referenced the same thread that TT used. It's pretty self explanatory once you get the hog rings out and open 'er up. Helps a lot if you have a nice bench to work on too.
