I am having trouble locating the encoder cables in Australia, I was hoping someone might be able to give me another name for them? I can find the connectors easily enough, although I wouldn't know how to go about inserting wires and creating a cable myself.

OK, I think I've worked it out a bit more - if others are in the same boat, crimping and creating the cables isn't too complicated, though it requires bloody expensive crimping tools from some searches I've done. Here's a video on crimping molex connectors - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofh998RCBY0 I guess you just buy the molex 50-57-9405 connectors and little metal inserts from your country's specialty supplier and make up some wires yourself with fine pliers.
