I have been trying pairing a couple of Olympus Trip 35s on a bar but I overlap the lugs which must produce a slight "Toe in" on one of them and put a nut and bolt through to hold them together. I use an Olypus double cable release originaly intended for macro bellows but it is adjuustable on one cable, but it is not very consistent on firing both shutters let alone at the same time especialy if the cable is not kept straight.
