New (top) and old (bottom) SMC bolt hangers showing the difference in thickness.
The left column has a homemade hanger stamped KC (Keith Cunning) from Rock Candy (JT), and two hangers stamped "7" from In A Silent Way (JT). The other two columns are homemade aluminum hangers stamped DPH (Dave Houser), including a less common left-facing hanger.
