Don't try it, Soenke. You will have a big chance of destroying one (or
both) of the 310-flashes....

Using two T-32's you could also do with: auto-connector-3, 2x TTL
autocord, and one T-20 connector (cheaper than with multi-connector).
Using one T-32 and one T-20 you would need the same plus one more T-20
connector (cheapest solution).
A T-20 connector mounted under a T-32 not only gives you a thread to
put it on top of a table tripod, but it also makes the multi-connector
and one of the cords redundant.
The connection line looks like this: OM2 -> auto-connector-3 -> cable
-> T-20-connector -> 1st T-32 -> cable -> 2nd T-32 .
(or for cheapest solution replace 2nd T-32 with T-20 on 2nd T-20
connector).
You could connect about 8 T-32's this way without needing any
multi-connector: all in series on T-20-connectors.
The 'terminating' T-32 can always be replaced with a T-20 on another
threaded connector.
