Bryan, I did something similar to a T-20. I was
stumbling around in the pitch black dark trying to pop
off several flashes and I knocked it to the ground,
breaking off the tabs of the hot shoe mount. I tried
epoxying them back on, but it was far too weak. So
instead I filed off much of the base and soldered the
wires of a generic off camera flash extension cord to
the internal connections of the T-20. Then I epoxied
a tripd mount to the bottom to act as a strain relief
and base. With a little modifying on the other end of
the cord, I got all of the contacts to line up with
the hot shoe 4 of my OM-2n. The hot shoe is
removeable and unmodified, but the T-20 is permanently
modified. Best of all, it works really well and is
extremely secure. Cheaper then a T-20 TTL
autoconnector!
