Ted, all,

I use a variable coupling post and socket arrangement on my coils.
A wooden or plastic post is attached to the bottom of the secondary.
The post can be 1.5" dia or so for strength.  The socket is made of
wood to accept the post.  The post can slide up or down in the socket
to adjust the height of the secondary.  A screw which screws through
the side of the socket bites into the post and holds the secondary at
the desired height.
