Just wondering if anyone has used the plastic "Coolsleeves" for anything more than dress-up? I've got a pretty tight s-curve to route from my pump to my radiator and planning on using something to strengthen the hose to keep it from kinking.
Do "Coolsleeves" work?
Am I better off just using a metal spring?
If so should it be on the outside of the hose or inside?
I don't want to waste any extra money and just don't understand how wrapping a plastic slinky around a hose will keep it from kinking. I'd rather just use the spring but sourcing that might take a little effort and since "Coolsleeves" are sold just about everywhere... well, you know...
Thanks!
