sorry for the noob question, but i am getting someone else to drill and tap my case and i canot find what size the mounting bolt is that comes with antec torroids. its not on their spec sheets. can anyone help?
Did I misread your note--are you going to TAP the hole for the Antec on your chassis? No need to do so--you already have a nut...! Just drill a hole slightly larger than the bolt's diameter (you can "eyeball" that.....) and use the bolt/nut/torroid gaskets/large retaining washer and a good lockwasher, and you're done.
For drilling and tapping holes for other machine screws/bolts, your buddy should have a vernier caliper (or micrometer) and a thread pitch gauge? If so, he can tell you the bolt's specs. If not, a GOOD hardware store (like an Ace Hardware) should have templates that will tell you diameter and pitch....

Hannes, Do you have any sources for mu-metal? The only one I've been able to find is at McMaster-Carr, though it seems a bit expensive for very short lengths.
Thanks,
Eric
