are you sure that there are 5/32" hanger bolts available in the States ? My understanding was that 3/16" was the smallest diameter commercially available but I could well be wrong.

Hanger bolts are also called lag screws.....particularly in the banjo world. Here is one source for the smaller ones:

I have made several of them over the years. I just cut the head off of a steel a wood screw, and thread the plain end with a die.
