[sdiy] Stacking toroidal transformers

[jhaible at debitel.net]

I've mounted two toroidal transformers on top of each
other with a single bolt. No problem. 
I used some rubber padding between them though, to
prevent pressing one trafo into the other with their windings
almost on the surface.

Don't worry about the shared bolt. 
Yes, it's now an extra winding that goes thru both transformers,
and thus you'll get a portion of each transformer's voltage
on the end of the bolt. No problem - just never connect the bolt
to the enclosure on both sides. (Never as in never, ever.)
