Ask mutznutz for his secret recipe i think its winter green and rubbing alcohol and you soak them overnight and they come out soft again,he did the rubbers on my gamma when he had it they are still soft two years later but still stink

Oil of Wintergreen works .. perfectly.. Straight out of the bottle.
Paint it on Or sheep dip, then let air dry. Leave alone for a couple or 4 days.
Repeat if found to not be soft enough.
Care though, as one can over soften.. as the Oil keeps on working for some time.
Smell evaporates after a week.. max.
In My experiences Brake fluid Swells as well as oversoftens rubber bits.. G'luck with that.

Agree with Mutts brake fluid will make the rubber swell

Oh man,
This is like the bad old days of RDlife….
Yes they may go soft and squishy but for the sake of new, buy new…
Just makes sense to me
