Thanks for the kind words John, yes that is 3 1/2" 
corrugated drain pipe over the 2" s.40 PVC secondary. 
The secondary has threaded rod coming out of both 
end caps, which then there are another set of caps 
made from cutting board that slide over the threaded 
rod and fit snugly into the corrugated drain pipe 
and tight against the top and bottom of the secondary. 
everything is then held together solid with a nut 
and washer on both ends,no glue just a really tight fit. 
You were right on the primary also, one side of some 
really big speaker wire. The primary coil form is a 4" PVC 
pipe coupler. I used a 3/32 bit and carefully drilled 
(so not to come out the side of the coupler.) four holes 
up into the bottom rim of the coupler and in the box, 
put 4 #6 screws up through the bottom of the box into the 
rim of the coupler. very solid. here is how the primary is held in place:

no grooves,it's not going anywhere. The top load isn't nearly 
big enough, though. I may be interested in one 
of your 1.75x6 toroids in the near future if they will 
still be available a couple of months from now.(my larger 
coil is sucking up all of 
my funds right now). As always all questions/compliments 
/comments/criticism welcomed, thanks again,
