Thanks mate. Going to start on it now. I'll pull off the internal valves and glue some old bladder material over where the holes are. Then glue some sort of fabric over the openings inside the kite.
I've done this many times. You don't need to sew or place a material over the connecting hole from LE to strut bladder. The pressure of pumping the bladder to being firm is not enough to cause the bladder to pop-through the hole, as it's quite small, especially when the LE gets pumped last. But if you're paranoid, like I was, get a piece of thin plastic sheet like those on plastic manila folders, cut a 2 inch diameter circle, sand the edges to smooth and push it into the strutt and place it just over the hole. It will sit there and provide a barrier between the two bladders.If you're still after the valves, I have dozens of them from all the Octopus kites I've converted. Some still have life. PM me.
