Greetings from Australia, about as far you can get from Sweden!
I am running a 900W coil (15Kv 60Ma) and I have much the same setup
working fine. A couple of hints though, I found a 6" coil performed much
better than a 3.5" so I would try for a bigger diameter if possible. If
you can't get PVC plumbing pipe easily, try rolling a few layers of
cardboard and varnishing heavily. Or you might be able to find cardboard
concreter's forms for making posts.
The safety gap is not critical, just use two brass 1/4" bolts. My main
gap consists of two adjustable brass cylinders with flat ends mounted in
a plumbing pipe, with a good airblast from a fan.
Hope this helps some.
Cheers,
Peter E.
