desarate measures?
As long as that cable does not need to flex , only connect two stationary
items, try this:
Use wirewrap (very fine solid ) wire to solder between the connectors.
Notice that there is always about 2mm or so exposed when it is installed.
this part can be commendeered for your wire connection. I would suggest that
you mark this area and then use a stainless steel "barrier" to avoid solder
getting on the contact portion during the soldering operation. ( That would
be BAD,...very BAD..). ;-)
