   The magnetic flux from one transformer could interact with the other one   
   being that they are that close to eachother.  I've seen cases where cases   
   where the toroidal transformer was made up of two or more rings stacked one   
   on top of the other, and then the wire wrapped around them all.   
      
   I used to repair industrial electronics and I've never seen someone stack   
   toroidal transformers before.  They mount them side by side with clearance.
