With a drill press, you can easily make the spacers. If you don't know anyone with a drill press, I bought a cheap Harbor freight one for the same price you paid for the sole purpose of making mine. I setup a fence and a jig and made them all Identical, then cut each one to get the desired offset for a spiral. Mine look identical to the ones on the third photo. I drilled the holes so more than half of the hole was at the edge, so the tubing would snap into place.

Subject: [TCML] Primary coil spacers for Lexan ( polycarbonate ) circle 17.75" x 0.25" inch thick
I purchased this base for my primary base.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Tesla-Coil-Lexan-Circle-Base-Primary-Secondary-/361162740274?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5416fa1232
However all I got was just the Lexan circle base (not the primary coil
spacers nor standoffs) as the ad stated. Pictures are great but I need to
look closer next time. Anyway I need to buy or make spacers for the primary
on this see through "bullet proof" base. I don't want to use wood as it
would take away from the clear look of it. Does anyone know of any place
that I can get these from? I don't really have any tools other than a drill
so I would rather buy "reasonably" what would work.
Thanks! - Tim
