If your looking for the black bag with the 2 white snaps it's N/A.
I've been thinking about trying to see if an upholstery shop could fab some,i've even made a template but haven't gone any further with it.
The blue bags were still available last time i checked.

Well that's strange, mine are both some sort of shade of blue?

It should be possible to make them. The vinyl is cheap, and snap closures can be sourced pretty easily. The toughest part will be the heat-sealing. But, with a well-worn original for a template, a metal stamp wouldn't be all that hard to create. The critical step - getting the metal sealing stamp to precisely the right temperature.

Kinda illustrates why no one has been repopping these. At $5-10 a pop a lot of units would have to sell just to recoup the initial investment. Who knows, if enough purists go after scarce intact originals market prices may go high enough to make correct K0 repops viable.

I wonder if you could use one of the vaccum bag sealing machines for food bags to seal the seams? Your wife might kill you but if it works, its all good!

You know, I had exactly that same thought...be afraid, be very afraid LOL

It might work, but I figure that anyone looking to replicate this level of detail would want the heat-pressed seams precisely recreated. The heat strips in a vacuum-sealing machine are linear, hence the need for a stamping die.
