I had this same problem.....tore the seat apart and the bladders had small fittings on them that were dried out and cracked. The price of these new were OUTRAGEOUS!!!!! I used a rubber gromet, flexible superglue, and a nipple that would fit the plastic lines. It worked for me. Be careful when gluing the gromet in the bladder so that you accidently glue the bottom of the bladder to the top. Hope this helps a little.
