Christoph,

This seems to make good sense to me. You could put a
laminated iron shunt into the space where the centre
leg was. So you could have a HV transformer and
ballast choke in one unit. Did you keep the centre leg
when you sawed it off ;)

If you were feeling adventurous you could maybe try
making an adjustable shunt similar to what is used in
arc welders.
