If you soak them in hot water they should become soft if they dont then.....

They are rubber. over many years and heat they go very hard like plastic......yours are shagged, replace them.

Well let us say they exhibit plastic-like qualities. Tried the hot water trick and it did soften them- for about 30 seconds, Then went hard again. I assume from all your replies that they should not have plastic like qualities, and indeed they may be goosed. This in itself is good to know and that it perhaps wasn't all my fault that the blessed things did not locate as they ought to have done.
billywingnut:
There are products that will soften the rubbers long enough for you to fit them. Over time they will harden again this is normal due to age. I tried various potions: wintergreen and IPA worked but the smell lingers. Have a look on You tube. Just make sure your carbs a well sorted before re-fitting them
