Sounds like they are fine to use as long they are the clip on type. I doubt they would break unless they are showing signs of deterioration now.

Ok, so I just sold an elbow replacement job to a client with a very "low miliage" '51 Lester with crumbling plastic elbows. It turns out I have a bag of Vagias replacement elbows in stock, that were given to me by a recently retired tech... They are not the early cream/white colored plastic that I have heard were problematic, but instead they are a transparent green-tint color. Not a strong green, but still very different from the current glass-clear elbows sold by Vagias. Other than they they are the exactly same "clip-on" design. So question: Should I use this set, or buy some brand new ones? Am I risking them re-breaking in a few years? Anyone else run across this batch type?
