Hi Chesh,

All is not lost.

Search "JST XA PCB headers" , RS Components keep them, as well as Element 14 (don't quote me on that though).

They come in various sizes, with 2.5mm spacing.

Example:

Sure you can make something work with those.

Cheers,

P.S. 
@ChickenMan, haven't forgotten your disk project , but I've been away with work for a few weeks.
Will get back to it this weekend!

Ooh. Thanks for that RedskullDC.
I'll keep that link for if/when my "solution" fails.
   
(Silicone coated wire so should be a lot less prone to breakage and I put some hot snot around the end that connects to the PCB so it doesn't flex at the connection point. It ain't pretty, but it's my kind of ain't pretty)
