Troy,
Better yet try using 3-1in. long pieces of 1in. copper tubing mounted 90
degrees to each other. Mount the grounded piece vertical and the other 2 on
each side horizontal. This will give you a 1 in. round spark area that is
self centering.

Keep on Coilin'

	<< What is the cheapest/quickest spark gap >>

	Hi Troy,
	Two solid brass 1 inch door knobs and a 1 inch copper pipe coupling
make an 
	excellent SG. Mount the knobs to 1/4- 20 brass bolts for adjustment.
I would 
	use some sort of NST protection. 

	Happy day,
