Another thought I had - For an on-camera bracket in your situation, you don't need elegant or multi-purpose. So go to Ace Hardware, buy a strip of aluminum. Drill a hole through which you'll attach the strip to the camera with a 1/4x20 bolt, another couple of holes on the two ends to mount the flash heads. Done. Unless you want a fourth hole for mounting a short dowel to use as a handle.
