Default restoring the little rubber bits

What should I do about the various little grommets and bushings in my 13-yr-old engine bay that are starting to look dry and crumbly... like the ones that hold the radiator in its place, etc.

Is there a way to just buy new ones? is there a restorative chemical?

Spray some PB Blaster on them, its supposed to have some restorative properties.

Like weapon said, PB Blaster. Also you could also get Gunk Foamy Engine Brite, use that to clean your bay up real nice (cover parts that obviously shouldn't get wet), then spray on any kind of foamy tire shine in a spray can all over, shut your hood, and drive around for a little bit to set it in. It will look immaculate, while protecting your rubbers.

Reminds me of the time when my sisters friend put Crisco all over his engine bay.
