In Reply to: Toroidal transformer bolt replacement question posted by dmzwizard@yahoo.com on March 2, 2010 at 01:25:53:
Is that following Al Sekela's advice on getting ferrous metals out of my system always works, though not always dramatically. In fact, getting metals out altogether in many places, or minimizing them, seems to do the trick as well.
I though of what you're contemplating, but have not actually done it.
If you replace that bolt with metal, use the brass or any non-magnetic metal you are sure of in that regard. Some stainless is still magnetic, and therein is the problem.
As to replacing bolt for bolt, it's the length and thread on one end that you need most, I'm guessing, so many bolts may be able to replace what you have. A lot of toroids are held down by a simple bolt holding a plate that clamps the top of the toroid down and the chasis acts as the bottom plate (sandwich style), so a carriage bolt should work and they come in many sizes - IF it's not magnetic.
