Or here is another suggestion, made by Hama, so should be easily available
in Europe, and is precisely what I use to attach the T20 Connector to a cold
shoe.

You are correct.  The umbrella adapter I had mentioned above is suitable for
direct mounting of a T32 but not for a T20 with T20 autoconnector. 
However, it would work with the aluminum bracket I mention above if the 6mm
sides of the bracket were filed back to form a "V".  That would allow it to
be gripped by the V channel of the adapter.  Alternatively, there are other
types of adapters (like shown above with my two T32s
mounted) that accept a 5/8" diameter stud that have either a 1/4-20 screw
sticking out or a 1/4-20 screw hole to accept a bolt (as above). 
Here is another type

that has a flash cold shoe on the top but which can be removed to reveal a
1/4-20 screw that could be used to attach the T20 autoconnector or the
aluminum bracket with 1/4" hole on the end.  On the bottom it can be
connected to a light stand or tripod using either 1/4-20 or 3/8-16 threads.
