Years ago there was someone who mentioned a lawn sprinkler that had a
similar sized SS wire inside it. The spring was removed and used inside the
hose. Sorry I don't recall the specific sprinkler. That said, I'd caution
that if not installed properly any spring can work its way to the impeller.
I had a friend with a V-8 Pinto back in the 70's who dealt with that.

Tom,
Those wires are getting more & more difficult to find and auto parts places
don't sell the wire coil separately. Just buy any radiator hose of the
right diameter that has a wire coil in it, pull out the wire for your
application and put the hose on the shelf for possible future use.
At least that's what I've had to do.
Darrell

Good call Duke!
Make sure there's a wire coil in the lower radiator hose. It'll collapse if
the coil isn't there. (learned that'un in 1962 on a '57 Ford...)
