   The connectors are available at Maplin, they are moulded to fit the
ribbon cable and not too difficult to fit. I have made up ribbons before,
squeezing the parts in a vice, and probably have some new connectors left in
North Acton. You probably need to specify the orientation of both connectors
relative to the coloured edge on such a short cable.
