I concur with what Genp asked? Is there any sonic improvements after the mods?
Wouldn't the nylon bolts and nuts instead of the brass is better fitted for the application if minimizing magnetic flux shorting across the core is a concern? Just asking. And you know exactly when you are over torquing one of these nylon bolts.

Stainless steel bolts are much stronger than Brass or Nylon, and have no magnetic properties.
Some steel bolts can be magnetic. I used to think a better and higher grade "stainless steel" is non-magnetic but I changed my mind after reading this article.http://www.bssa.org.uk/topics.php?article=5
I am sure most "real" stainless steel would be non-magnetic but I am a little doubtful of the ebay ones from HK and China and some local hardware store.
Even when they are non-magnetic; they are still conductive.
I mostly skid steel and brass hardware on transformers whenever I can. Nylon and plstics bolts are quite strong for transformers and you won't screw up the lams and windings with over torqueing them. And they are excellent when you want to electrically isolate the transformers from the main chassis. I always try to isolate the OPT from the chassis ground in audio stuff.
