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...)
