Anyone know where I can get 8 mm bolt hangers in the US?

Google it....there's many out there!

Don't know where you are Googleing. I cannot find any in the US. except InnerMountain always seems to be out of stock. Right now they are $6 a piece.

You can usually find them at any caving event in the u.s. Other than that, I'm not sure. IMO does seem to have them whenever I check their tent.....

Google says that Petzl still manufactures several models with 8mm bolt-holes, such as the Twist (Vrillee), Clown, and Coudee, though you will pay a premium price for Petzl hardware in the US.

Google product search: petzl 8mm hanger

Look on the NSS home page, at the bottom are quite a few vendors. On Rope should carry Petzl bolting gear, as should Karst Sports. I think I've bought bolting stuff from just about every stocking dealer in the US. Also, try Gonzo Guano Gear, I've gotten Petzl hangers from Becky at GGG several times over the years. You can also try rescue suppliers; some years back I scored about two dozen Clown 8mm hangers for some ungodly low closeout price, like $1 each (still have most of 'em).

Ebay is another source. Just be wary that you buy only unused, factory new hangers. I landed a huge lot several months back for little more than the Petzl hammer price (it came with them).
