[Tigers] radiator wire

[CoolVT at aol.com]

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

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...)
