They don't. You need to use a hanger with a bigger hole.Rob said:I thought the 7.5mm ones don't fit through the standard 8mm hanger plates?
I'm sure i've used ones before that go into a 6mm drill hole, but that are a perfect fit for a hanger plate hole....

Thanks for the link. They're dirt cheap. Anyone on here ever used them?

That's what I've used when bolting up avens. 6mm x 50mm Thunderbolts have held a FF1 fall.
Long term rigging maybe a different matter, but for exploration, that's what I use. 6mm x 50mm holes are great for maximising battery life.
Huge said:I'm a bit confused as to what hole diameter is required for a particular size of screw-in bolt. Am I right in thinking that 6mm bolts actually need a 5mm hole, rather than 6mm as alluded to in the quotes above and the 7.5mm bolts need a 6mm hole? Don't understand why 7.5mm bolts don't fit in 8mm hangers.
Any help in clearing this up would be much appreciated, thanks.
Huge said:Cheers for that.
It's the Multi Monti bolts I've been looking at. Their website says that their 6mm bolts need a 5mm drill bit and 7.5mm need a 6mm bit. This where I'm getting confused.
