Ed:
The primary is already held 3 3/4" above the plywood top sheet
using four 1/2"x4"x15" nylon 101 forms. The forms are held to the
top sheet using 10-32 nylon bolts. I read several months ago where
someone in the group milled basically a series of half moon type of
cuts along the top edge to retain the copper tube. I liked that and
did the same. I have 1/2" diameter copper tube and I used a 1/2"
end mill and plunged it down through the edge of the nylon resulting
in about 220 degree's of a circle. That way there is about a .450"
opening and the tube snaps into the cut--works great!
