I think it is obvious you are going to have to make something up 
yourself or pay someone else to do it for you. Find a hotshoe or cold 
shoe bracket that is easily removable so you can modify it to fit your 
finder and fit it to a base of your own design. A few scraps of metal 
should work and just solder the assembly together. Alignment will be 
critical so test carefully with a gg screen.
