I just finished the stationary electrodes today. I have used 1" diameter
brass rod that is 1 1/4" long. The outside end has a 3/8-16 threaded
hole for attaching a threaded rod for in/out positioning while the
business end has "about" a 120 degree included angle leaving a flat of
.375" in the middle for arcing. The entire rotary would be made
differently today if I were to start over. I intended originally to make
a rotary/series gap and purchased the G-10 rotor. I now understand that
the rotary/series isn't recommended for a two coil system so I did an
about face ( leaving money on the floor!) and made the standard rotary
with the available materials.
