impress the welding supply counter clerk

get the ss welding rod and tell him it for the lower hose on a 440 engine

stop by lowes and look in the pipe section with rod in hand,find correct size and wrap it around the pipe to form spring,no need to buy the pipe.

go home and install it and have a good nights sleep knowing you have the spring and it cost a couple $ and wont rust.

should never have to replace it either
