So, new rubber is the answer. How did I get into this? Well, I needed some, then others wanted some so I made plenty. I do not want to make any more as they cost too much to machine and are very time consuming. I just want rid of them.
Cheers,

Yes Dave ,

You are correct . The rubber does seem to be OK , but with the constant vibration of a vehicle , the old rubber may break away .

I have a few 9.00-13 WW2 NOS rubber inner tubes here too , still wrapped and boxed , unopened . Not worth the risk of using them , but they do look brand new .

Mike
