maybe solder or hot glue :? might work fine for a console stick, could be too hood for a cabinet though.

the harnesses should be relatively cheap though. Here in the states LizardLick sells them for $5 each. If you're buying new sticks, they'll be included most likely. Its waiting on shipping thats a bitch, especially when there are ggs to be had.

JST-NH is the original connector. Similar connectors with a pitch of .1" / 2.54 mm should work as well, for example Molex KK.

I've been using old PC motherboard serial cable connectors. It has 9 pins, but I only use the top 5. Getto, but like Grant said sometimes you're in a pinch.
