Where did you get your kite? Your local retailer should have them or be able to order them. If not: www.kitepower.com.au/

Ooops, I'll get that fixed, the valve is available and is in stock.
All Ozone kites come with a spare. Have you lost that one or did you not get it with a secondhand purchase?
Contact 02 95296894 after 9.30am and I'll get one shipped tomorrow express post.

^^^^^ I dont know....

Fixmykite stuff is available from an agent here in australia. Sorry I used to have his email and pricing...

This may be a little off topic, as Im sure theres better glues.
Black Valve 2004 Fuels, and Flexifoil Atoms 2008 were the worst kites with regard to dodgy valves. The cheapest fix was to peel them off, and use nail polish remover to clean the valve and the bladder. Wipe inside the valve mark on the bladder as the acetone starts to melt the bladder material a little bit and it will slightly crinkle. use tarzan grip and press down for 12 hours, a crankshaft is perfect with the holes being the right dimension. I also used to put a little bit of baking paper in the holes so the bladder didnt stick. It can save your ass on a holiday.

Hi Guys,

The Fix My Kite valve is for repair of Cabrinha kites, the Ozone valve is much bigger. Any good Ozone dealer will have replacement Ozone original valves.

So the valve hole in my leading edge will be too big for the self adhesive stick on (Cabrinha type) valve. I could make an adaptor but probably best to stick to original Ozone parts. I will have to use the spare valve provided with the kite but still need to know the best glue to use. I don't believe Tarzans Grip is as flexible as Selleys Urethane Bond. I have used 'Aquaseal' urethane glue for re-fixing latex seals on my dive drysuit. I think that glue would be ok too. Kitepower have KiteFix GluFix. I know it's good for sail repairs but not sure if suited to bladder material.
Strong, flexible and waterproof are the key needs.
I'd like to know what the kite makers reccommend.

Hey Rob are heading back up our way? Surely you will score sandy bay this time.
If you get stuck we have the valves in little old Exmouth. I am pretty sure DM from AKS made an instructional video for replacing the valves but I can't seem to find it so maybe send him an email.
