I have a vertical mount power transformer, Hammond calls this 'X' mount. To make it fit in my chassis I wish to make it horizontal or 'Z' mount. For the intended X mounting the leads come out both sides of the laminations. To mount it horizontally I can feed one side's set of leads through the core to the other side. This will add or subtract half a turn. I intend to tape down this half turn with regular electrical tape. Is this sufficient or will there be unintended consequences.
Avoid rerouting wire through available window space because it´s not "neutral" space, by any means.
May or may not work, better avoid posible trouble.
Drill an extra hole, say 8-10-12 mm through chassis at some convenient spot, *add a rubber grommet* for safety, and send needed wires through it.
Safety before "looks" any day of the week.
