Have you tried Farnell?

Hi Steve
Theres some on ebay (but you need to so a lot of sifting)
email molex and ask for a uk supplier
Try mouser.com, they now have a uk section
last resort try aliexpress (in china but may be easier to get a few in for stock

not much help but a few options

Hi Steve

May not be the cheapest way but how about Sata to IDE (M-F) adaptors.
Cut the IDE socket off and you have 4 short cables to wire as you need.
Should be able to get them from most PC shops.(Or ebay)

farnell do list them and the crimps but they are us stock ... £15.00 carriage charge and a charge for the order too so that will be over £30 before the order
RS don't list them
I have found some on uk Digikey but again they are us stock.

I have emailed molex this morning so they wont get it till Monday

John I have thought of that too I have a old power supply that I could rob the leads from

That US stock at Farnell is really annoying, I wanted something the other week that was under a pound, but £15 delivery.
Needless to say, I didn't bother.

Hi Steve
Have a careful look at your pwr supply as some connectors will come apart so if careful you might be able to open it and remove the wires then push your new wires in
Ali express list 100 for £29(ish) delivered ,if you take that route be prepared for anything from 7 to 28 days for delivery

cheers dazz they are the moulded type so wont come apart , will wait to too what happens with molex over the next day or two
