My problem is that the rubber is now very hard and brittle. Is there any way that the rubber can be made pliable again? In their present state they're at risk of just breaking up whilst being reinstalled.
Possibly some rubber rejuvenator liquid that can be applied as a dressing, just be sure that it will not damage the rubber I dont know how old natural rubber will be affected by modern chemicals. Keep away from products that are solvent based like tyre shine they will degrade the rubber eventually. Just a suggestion, hope it helps.
