HI ALL ....
my computer is back on line after wayyy too long of a down period...
I used G10 as the base plates ( 1/4" thick) 1" Cu tubing for electrodes and
stainless screws for attachments.. for the low power coil ( 3 -at-15KV/30
mA ) i
use no cooling but with the Pig I use the exhaust from a shop vac. id
say the
performance is equal or a bit better than the original RQ gap and
maintainence is
a lot easier to do on this type of gap ( SD gap ) ....
