[Tigers] radiator wire

[CoolVT at aol.com]

Find a company that services lawn sprinklers or a home owner with  lawn 
sprinklers.  The normal 6" tall sprinkler head has the stainless steel  spring 
that you want in it.  When the sprinkler head gets thrown out, the  spring 
get tossed with it. (These things get ruined by getting hit with  
lawnmowers). In other words it's considered junk. Find a sprinkler company and I  bet 
they will give you a box full of them for free. I have at least a 1/2 dozen  
that came from sprinklers.

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.

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...)
