I am also thinking of carrying the D90 upside down like the D7000. To do that, I need to use the tripod mount. There is this metal plate I just placed an order for on eBay. It costs $10 including shipping. (If interested in this plate, search for "camera strap plate" on eBay.) I also need a carabiner to connect the Nikon strap to the plate so I ordered a dozen of these carabiners for $10 including shipping, also. Why a dozen? I will use one of the carabiners for this purpose and the rest, well, they will come in handy when I go traveling or hiking about. For example, when I travel, I usually keep my camera gears in a small daypack. When I have to carry my 60L backpack, the daypack is carried in the front. I use a carabiner to hang the daypack off the strap of the 60L backpack. I can also use a carabiner for carrying a water bottle in the front.
Now, notice these carabiners have a locking screw. This is important. I do not want the carabiner to detach from the metal plate by accident. The locking screw is a must in this application. However, I have to question my decision to buy these specific carabiners though. I got a dozen of them for $10 and I am hanging a thousand dollars worth of equipment off it. These aluminum carabiners should hold at least 40 pounds of weight. Hmm ....
This $11 contraption will probably work well. However, you could just purchase a double Quick Strap for two cameras like this one below for about $30.
