I have two view finders for my Nikonos V, the 28mm and the 85mm. I can only clip one to the shoe and I have a cylindrical case will no loops or attachments for the camera strap. Any suggestions on how to carry the second view finder?
How do you carry multiple view finders?

Are you going to dive with your Nikonos or use for bad weather?
You need another camera body. Always the best plan.

It is for bad weather. I doubt that I will dive again and if I did I would use a digital underwater camera to compensate for the blue depth related tint.

No that is for Rollei TLR aficionados so they can walk down the street with three cameras around their necks for photo bling.
Sound like a plan.
Trousers with cargo pockets, or a photog vest.

Just not in the rear pockets so that they do not get sat on.
Small aux viewfinders like for a terrestrial RF can sometimes be carried in one of those little cases with a loop that are intended to hold a 35mm film can and slip onto the camera strap. (I never found those terribly useful for holding film, but they were popular once.) I don't know if a Nikonos viewfinder would fit in one. However, you could probably find a belt-loop case for a flip cell phone or similar that would hold your VF and go on the camera strap.
Assuming that you will be carrying both lenes you have camera bag, just a pouch, weather proof of some sort along with lens not in use. I have a couple of weather resistant, would not call them water proof. Or buy a Minolta Weather Matic with the bag and use the bag, then when your Nikonoes gives up the sprit you have backup water proof camera. Not sure if it is large enough your Nikones. Usually comes with a couple of water proof film cans. Weathermatics show up on Shopgood.com quite often.

Thank you I will look into it. Yes I want to carry the other two lenses too, but I am concerned about one of the viewfinders running away.
I have my Swedish au pair carry my incidentals.
Meanwhile in the world where most of us live, on Amazon, a dive bag for regulators, $25.00. Looks like it will fit your camera, lens and few small pouches with the viewfinders.

Is she available to loan out to me?

I have a number of camera bags to use, but experience from misplacing darkslides that I could easily misplace a view finders. Perhaps I have to store the view finder in the lens bag with the appropriate lens.
Wow… you’re very lucky to have two Swedes!

Maybe I watched too many comedy films in the 60s and 70s which were all called "Carry on with various titles" These were all masterpieces in "double entendre"

The "Carry on" films were examples of what we call "end of pier " comedy in the U.K. It was based on fairly simple but obvious "double entendre" to get the laughs. Called "end of pier" because humour of that kind belonged to comedians that were standard entertainment in old fashioned U.K. "music hall" and in the summer season such acts earned their living appearing nightly on the end of pier shows that were held for U.K holiday makers in the bigger seaside towns in the U.K. before many people could afford holidays abroad

The 28mm viewfinder arrived from China a couple of days ago. When I compared it to the Nikonos V viewfinder, I saw that the full Nikonos V viewfinder is very close to the 28mm. So when all else fails one should look at the instruction manual.
So now the new 28mm viewfinder is a spare and the camera now sports the 85mm viewfinder on the Accessory Shoe. The viewfinder handles the 28mm and 35mm lens and the auxillary 85mm view finder handles the 85mm lens so I can switch lenses, above water of course, and always have the right viewfinder available.
Thank you for everyone's help.
