Here is a great video from a TLR driver, Mike Truhe, demonstrating how to do this...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWBAKC-c1s4

The whole method is the same on the Shumacher BB shocks, only ours are prettier . I personally think that the emulsion shocks are a bit more consistent but there may be situations where bladders may work better. Drive the car with both setups and see what YOU are more consistent with on your home track.
Thanks.. I will try again.. will also say the o-ring look more right. Are you using the same oil or change it 2.5 or 5wt higher or lower when using cut bladder?
