Connie was pointing you to these Jagwire strings. They are nickle and have the .018 and .022 you requested. You can by them from b0b and help support the Forum.
Ricky Davis - Artist Series
Nickel E9th
Texas steeler Ricky Davis is best known for his recordings with Dale Watson, and for his spectaular restorations of vintage pedal steels. Ricky prefers heavier gauges on the E9th than most players, and uses a wound 6th string on the E9th neck. They seem to be very popular among Sho-Bud players.
These are nickel wound strings.

Don't forget - b0b sells strings here on the Forum.
