Mal, The plastic used between the two slinkey's consists of 3 pieces.
A square piece larger than the diameter of the coils.
Two narrow pieces each ran through the edge of a slinkey, and placed at right
angles on either side of the large plastic piece.
I drilled holes to hold the small pieces on the center piece.
Glue may work, not sure tho as metal Slinkeys weigh a lot

Oops, just remembered I used 4 Slinkeys for 80M .
I soldered two slinkey's together on each end of my attic Dipole.
One slinkey on each end may do the job for 40M .

The antenna ends run North to South in my attic. Can't remember if it favors
E-W qso's or if I worked any N-S stations with it.
