You can use insulated wire although this makes it
harder to tap the primary for tuning.  I use insulated
wire for my primary on my TT-42 coil which I show
at my website.  Also an off-axis tuning coil can be
used for tuning, although this affects teh coupling.
And yes you can put the primary inside the plastic
box.  I also show a smaller coil which gives 9"
sparks at my website.  This also has an insulated
wire primary placed under a sheet of plexiglas.  
I gave my website URL in my previous email.
