Lower Rad hose spring?

This was a spring in a quarter million mile 318 that was a desert car filled with straight water:

The only car I've ever personally seen with a radiator hose collapsed was a Chevy Caprice PPV, and it collapsed several times over the life of the vehicle.

Ain't seen it in any other car yet.

Can't say I'd recommend the spring unless you're planning on the car running 24/7
