I used a similar setup at my last QTH for 14 years.  I did use HF feed 
through insulators, first through plywood, then Plexiglas.  The feed-through 
insulators allowed for an inside disconnection point.  I mostly ran 50 watts (Argosy) 
although the setup was adequate, and occasionally  used at, higher power 
levels.   I ran the twin lead directly to my tuner, a Johnson matchbox.
