As a temporary fix you could remove the clamps, 2 layers of black gorilla tape, replace the clamps.
Is there a video on replacing those tubes?

I  have been replacing a lot of rubber parts on my 03, seems they have aged out.

I have a new set in inventory for my Cal, the originals still look good so far.

I switched out all four on a new to me 2001 Jackal last year.  They needed it.
