RodB has given an excellent description of the reason manufacturers used flexible braided wire to ground tuning condensers and I agree with his analysis. Just keep the darn things; don't replace them with solid wires.

I'll only add this regarding the rubber grommets used to mount tuning condensers - they were intended to minimize vibration, with the close proximity of the radio chassis to the speaker - especially in cathedral, tombstone, and table model radios.
