I did a quick search
and didn't see an obvious source of through-hole
oscillators at the right frequency (and it is a bit unusual), even
from US vendors.
One solution could be to mount an SMD oscillator in a 14-pin DIP
machined-pin socket frame (with 10 pins removed) either on a small PCB
or with flying leads and a spot of glue.

Most of the SMD parts are 3.3v..
There are though hole out there, likely you will need a programable part
to get 8.2mhz. Check Silicon Labs for parts, digikey and mouser.
