How To: Canon E-TTL Dual Flash Wired Connection?

OK, I got it...

I bought a Godox off-camera cord that's similar to the pic I posted. With that installed on the hot shoe, I can then plug my Canon OC-E3 into that for a second E-TTL cord. I also bought an old, NOS dual cold shoe bracket to mount under the DSLR. The two Canon 420EX flashes that I already have will mount on the cord ends, and the cord ends will fit onto the two cold shoes.

I'm really surprised Canon or someone else doesn't offer an "all-in-one" cord for this. Here are a couple pics of the dual hot shoe cable and the bracket I found. I'll post the complete rig when everything is assembled. Can't wait to try some macro shots with two flash heads!
