If you can't find your original collection of edge connectors there are various retro suppliers who sell 'ZX Spectrum' edge connectors - they are longer than needed for the MK14 edge connector but are easily sawn down to size.
Don't forget an old IDE hard drive connector is a 40 way ribbon cable with IDC connectors... If you can't find one of those I can send you one of mine, in these days of SATA they're not much use (aside from use on Raspberry Pi's I suppose!)

I know as soon as I put hacksaw to expensive Spectrum connector I will trip over the box with my edge connectors! They are lovely MIL spec McMurdo connectors too, so maybe it would be worth the sacrifice
