My 1946 Ercoupe has rubber hoses connecting the pitot and static tubing from the wing to the center section, and they are original, with some cracking on the surface. I told the mechanic maybe we should replace them, and he told me that if we do, they will need replacement every few years ever after, because the modern neoprene or rubber quality is nothing like the original stuff. That was 8 years ago, and the originals still function just fine.
I don't know how to deal with modernity, except to appreciate mortality!
