All you listmembers' suggestions gave me an idea :-).
I managed to do the following : 
1) Took a HAMA flash hotshoe-PC adaptor, filed a groove in the bottom.(=REEL
3D adaptor). So far nothing new.
2) THEN: removed the plastic lid from the top cold shoe.(It is a removable
lid) 3) Drilled a small hole in the middle of the lid.
4) Put a soft metal nail with a flat head trough it.
5) Cut of the nail 2 mm above the surface.
6) Put the lid on a solid surface with the nailhead down and hammered the
other side flat.(Like a rivett)
7) Put the lid back with the nailhead down, touching the PC contact *inside*
the    adaptor.

Et voila : an adaptor with a PC connection and TWO hotshoe's.
Patrick.
