Lower hose inner spring
I need the inner spring for a lower radiator hose that prevents collapsing. ASAP or a place to get one.

Re: Lower hose inner spring
Get a length of tig stainless steel welding rod and wrap it around a steel pipe w/ a alightly smaller od than the hose id. The spring is not so much a spring in that it relies on spring tension, it's just a reinforcement for the rubber to keep it from collapsing. The stainless wire will never corrodo and do a good job.
