I got mine when Tom, N0SS, did a bulk order for the club. I believe WMR does stock them. 261G2 is the contact P/N they list on their web site. Actually rated for only 10 gauge wire.
If you have conventional soft-drawn copper 8 AWG wire, you might be able to get them to crimp. I ran into trouble with some specialized 10 AWG wire for stereo installations. Copper was lots of fine wires, and a harder draw. It wouldn't compress enough, and the cast die from the WMR crimp tool didn't like it.
