Just measured a spring from a typical lawn sprinkler head (6" tall  
variety). Measures at 1 7/8" diameter and 8 1/8" long. Guess judge for  
yourself on 
whether you want to use or not.   Mark  L

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...)
