Peter: You're suggestion makes sense. At that time I was in a big learning
mode. And I learned "there has got to be a better way." Thanks. I'll follow
this suggestion for the next, a convertible 1800/2700 watter.

Ted,
    your big mistake was nailing your HDPE forms onto the base before 
threading the copper through them.

1. bend the copper tubing into the spiral shape first, then
2. thread the HDPE spacers onto the spiral, then
3. mount the HDPE spacers onto the base board.

I've made about 10 primaries this way with everything from #14 wire to 1/4"
tubing. This method works.
