Chistopher,
I have started with two bolts that you can unscrew to make the gap
larger. Start with a small gap and hook up the power supply,
increasing the gap until there are no sparks, aand then pulling them
back in a little. Even though this works, you are probably better of
using a couple of pieces of copper pipe to form a multi-gap.
Cheers,
Blake
