    Made up 4 bellows, a bit rustic but they work fine. A piece of velcro glues on holds them in place.

    Looks good! In case it helps, I've found that 1 60 kg servo can handle squeezing 2 or 3 bladders.

    Good to know. I used 2 x 35 kg for the bladders in the back of the seat and 2 x 60kg for the seat. Because i am only creating heave and surge I connected the airline for the 2 bladders in the seat together and the same for the back. It means the air pressure in the left and right bladder is equal. Works well. Started looking at my driving rig thinking of 2 dof. What have you all started

    Calling this finished for now. Mounted it all on a board that fits under my sim pit. Not the tidiest! Unzipped the back of the jet seat and put the bladders inside it. Works fine. Thanks again guys.
