HI Ed...

as you i have been looking for a better gap for hi power that doesnt
entail alot of money, time, and exotic materials....

at 7KVA  heat will be a big problem ...  and spacers left between the
tubes WILL conduct and if the material is burnable ( can become carbon)
the gap becomes useless....  and you would be amazed at what HV can
"burn"...

take a look at the gap I designed on terry's web site 

http://www.peakpeak-dot-com/~terryf/tesla/misc/scot/

it displaces the arc to a higher point on the tubes, is easy to clean,
and is adjustable ...  tools needed to build it   a table saw, drill,
and an accurate measuring device
