Spare Sonic 11m Bladders

Hi guys,

I'm after some replacement Sonic 11m (06 model) bladders... anybody know of anybody who'll have some in stock please?
I'm off to Egypt on September 22nd and could really do with some before then.
Sean at Airjam reckons they should be getting some in soon but GK seem to be taking a while to send them.
I'd hate to get over to Egypt and have a burst bladder stop me flying etc.
All advice welcome, cheers,

IK.

Is it worth getting one of those bladder kits where you can make up your own to any size, then stick on the valves ??. Can't remember what they are called, but saw some chap on holiday this year making two replacement bladders for his Fuel.....seemed ok.

Yeah, I've looked into those and am interested, does anybody know if they're any good or not?
They're made by Airboss or something I think.
I'd certainly consider it as I'm not mad on the valves on the Sonics, not being one way they're a pig to get properly inflated I find.
Those custom ones are pretty expensive, but it might be worth it.
I was actually thinking about getting hold of those large footprint valves, cutting out the existing ones and replacing them with the larger ones. But if I screw it up somehow I'm then left without a bladder full stop... hardly ideal.
