Hi Simon...

Ive used several methods ranging from the aluminum piza pans to complex
aluminun strut supports. the
easiest method ive found ( depending on the size of the toroid) is to use a
piece of paneling and aluminum
tape. The use of the paneling allows one to custom build the outeer
diameter of the toriod to ones needs.
