With all the odd size flyback transformers around its handy to have a pvc suport. first youll need a pvc pipe the size i used in pvc circiut box designing featured in the electronics lab , now cut a peace of pipe the length of the flyback transformer .

Cut it down one side, and if you dont have a home made cutting gig just use a ruller and draw a straight line then use a mini dril and drill a doted line of holes down that strait line, then splice it open with a stanley knife or box cutter. then pry it open with your fingers , and hold it over the stove flame until its soft enougth to open out more and flatten under your shoes, on the floor.

Then cut out the rectangle size you need make it reasonably long , and no wider than the length of the flyback transformers body . useing a pair of long nose pliers hold that pvc you cut out over the stove flame till its soft enougth then with a pair of gloves on hold it over the flyback transformer core side and while the pvc is still soft bend it to the shape as shown in the pictures and bend out the ends to form legs for this suport.

Then useing a file round off the corners and drill the holes, for the screws. glue the flyback to this pvc holder suport. you can use a bit of blue tac which you can allso get yellow ,to fill in any gaps.
