I have the same problem. Wanted to run the motor controllers aft on a heat sink, and the controllers in a hand box.

Trouble is that you cant undo the motor controler, or pot.  So you cant actually get to the start of end of the ribbon.  Well, not without breaking it open.

I think the crimp on connector are standard and you should be able to buy new ones. The ribbon cable you can buy by the roll. I would get new connectors and cable and make longer ones.

 Hi All,
  
 Does anyone have any experience in
 cutting\re-joining thin ribbon type cable.  I'm
 going to modify my motor controllers so that the buttons are
 on the handles like they should be.  Where they are at the
 moment its awkward to steer and operate the power at the
 same time.  Ideally i'd like to cut the ribbon cable
 and extend it so i can have the pots on the handles.  But
 im not sure if I cut the cable, i'll be able to get them
 back together.

  
 Its the 3 white ribbon cables in this picture, with the
 blue pots on the end.  I want to extend these to the
 handles.

 Also looks like Jim K has done a similar thing on
 Guppy.  Last pictures on his page.

 Anyone cut these type of cables and got them back
 together?
  
 Kind Regards
 James
