Can you buy the original style "green" washer bottle tubing these days?

I've not had to, but the tube used for aquarium air pumps springs to mind.

Cheers thanks mick and timmy for the constructive comments :shock:,just cleaning up a few things in the engine bay, managed to reduce 75% of the yellow out of the original washer bottle using hair peroxide wrapped in a zip bag out in the sun for a few days, works well, the original tubing has been tarnished do a dark grey colour, it's soaking in parts cleaner detergent at the moment, l was just surprised that people restoring there cars don't have this option, settling for the clear stuff.
