I mount a ~3" dia. wood plug on the bottom of the secondary, which fits
into a corresponding hole in the support, for centering.  Then I keep the
coil upright with 4 nylon hook/loop straps, 1/2"-wide, fastened to the
top periphery & running down to the (2 ft square) baseplate.  I just
tighten the straps differentially until the coil is upright.  You can get
such strap material from McMaster-Carr.
