Do you know that you can attach the SD-8a to the bottom of your camera body?
By removing two black rubber plug, there's a "see thru hole"
Well, a standard 1/4-20 bolt with a washer should work. Cost- $0.25 .

Also information is in its manual!

Thanks Birdy!
I always thought that you could do that as it's hinted at in the manual IIRC.
However, it's slightly larger than the d70's base & I'm not sure what it'll do to the ergonomics, but it'll certainly save attaching the SD-8A to my belt.
So a 1/4-20 bolt from the hardware store? I wonder how much they would charge for something similar in a camera store?

Yes, it's larger then the D70 body's base, but it's fitted on the d2 series.
