thenks for the replys guys :)
I was asking for the MOSFETs because i want to drive it directli from the mains (not throug a stepdown transformer like he shows in his circuit).
For the new coil (ctc-circuit) i will definetely not use steel box but with the micro sstc i didn't see any difference in performance with or without the box.
I will start a new threath for the new coil and i will put my results there. The only question is will the mosfets survive at 300v half wave rectified (irf740 are 400v 10A )

They should survive as long as you don't run it in DRSSTC mode. I had a coil that ran at 1MHz CW using those FETS and was powered by two dual power supplies running in series @120VDC. Current limiting with a cap on the line voltage might not be a bad idea.

In the original sheme they use a step down transformer one way rectified with irf640. It is written that the maximum voltage is 200V. Because i want it driven directly from the mains one way rectified i will change the mosfets with some that can survive 300v
