Is there a product to convert Genesis 8.1 clothing, hair etc. to Genesis 8?

I missed it.

AFAIK you don't need any special tool or converter, G8.1 is only a G8 with tears and more face rigging features. Please other readers tell me if I'm wrong.

All you have to do is to change the prefered character base for the clothing item. From G8.1 to G.8.

 

Or simply use G8.1 instead of G8.

 

No one made such converter product because it wouldn't sell.

A good read - https://www.daz3d.com/genesis-8-1

"Because Genesis 8.1 characters are built on the Genesis 8 framework, most of your Genesis 8 content, such as hair, clothing, morphs, and poses should work just fine on the new and enhanced characters. The enhanced capabilities of 8.1 are not backward compatible, however, so you won't be able to apply the new skins and capabilities on a Genesis 8 character. For current customers, update your Daz Studio Default Resources package (DIM or DazCentral) to 4.15+."

Expressions for 8.1 not working on 8 are the biggest issue since the facial posing was such a major upgrade with 8.1

It's easy to convert. Just select "Unsupported" "Full Body" it works fine.

This is a very poor reason to kick a thread that's over two years old, as doing this will destroy all of the creator's weight painting and any custom bones.

It should be done by overriding the scene ID so that it doesn't need to autofit, not by using autofit.

Scene tab Menu -> Edit -> Scene Identification, set the Preferred Figure base (use the right hand button, not the drop down) to Genesis 8 Male or Female as appropriate.
