John,

Why the concern of the age of Fresno rubber? The bushings are sealed in plastic. The 4 hose pieces are loose. All the rubber parts seem to be pliable. I'm not questioning your judgement, just wanting to know why I should be cautious.

Sealed in plastic or not, most rubber parts have a shelf life. Fresno sells a lot of surplus and NOS stuff.

Those rubber hoses are actually just short lengths of Mil-6000 hose.

Got the Fresno parts today. All looks as it should. Rubber parts are as fresh as any I have encountered. - Erik
