"Hi Luke,

The key is those leads are very short and normally in parallel.  The
loss
from the skinny leads is trivial.  They do make those caps with big
strap
leads, but the cost is stunning for the special order...

Cheers,

	Since the power in the primary will be hundreds of watts any
significant (~10%) loss in it will cause it to heat up.  Seems to me the
wire size is OK if you can stand to touch it with your fingers AFTER you
have run the gap and turned the power off.
