I got mine from Amazon: RacePro - 12x White Tough M6 Hex bolt/Washer / Hex Nut Combo - Nylon Plastic - 70mm Length : Amazon.co.uk: DIY & Tools
70mm long M6 nylon bolts with nylon washers and nylon nuts.
You could probably find something like that on Amazon that fits your size requirements. I had to cut mine down a bit so that it fits in my compact case.

There is no such thing as just stainless steel, there's a vast range of very different alloys all under the same umbrella term, varying greatly in composition and microstructure.I did not know stainless is usually non-ferromagnetic...
As for magnetism:
Is stainless steel magnetic? - thyssenkrupp Materials (UK)
A stainless steel bolt doesn't prevent from a shorted turn, if no other measures are taken, because it is a conductor, too. This is the point of this discussion, isn't it?I use stainless steel bolts, because usually but not always stainless steel is non-ferromagnetic.
Best regards!
Stainless alloys can be both non-magnetic and ferromagnetic . But stainless steel bolts I have seen were almost always non-ferromagnetic (luckily).I did not know stainless is usually non-ferromagnetic...

I'm not sure it is only one point of discussion.This is the point of this discussion, isn't it?
I'm talking about a fact that a ferromagnetic bolt itself in the center of a toroid increases a parasitic magnetic field (and thus a hum and noise).

- Do I need to insulate the center bolt securing a toroidal transformer?
