unclestu and others_Steel disk and available space question

unclestu,
There is about 6" between the transformers center hole and the inside casework of the rear panel. The backside (wire connection side) of the IEC inlet is about 1/2" from the transformers plastic jacket. The transformer measures 5 1/2" in diameter, yielding 1/2" clearence. That said, would it be better to have 5 1/2" steel discs, top and bottom or 5 3/4" steel disks, the extra hangover would/should pick up some of the residual periphery magnetism and keep it from effecting the surrounding storage caps. I could of course get 2 of each and use a 5 1/2" top or bottom and a 5 3/4" and use that top or bottom. I'm not really concerned about clearence, as much as, the possibility of arcing, should the clearence be insufficient.
