Simply two bits of wire, stripped and 'tinned' with a soldering iron. They pushed in to the end of the connector quite securey.

will any wire do?

Yes, as long as the ends of the wire seem like they have actually pushed in to the connector all should be fine. Also I assume your not using 'bare' wire - don't want the wires to short across to the other pins!

no - i wasn't planning on using bare wire. How much/long (?mm) of the wire needs to be stripped & soldered in order to push into the connector?

Depends on wire gauge so trial and error - that's the best!

Perhaps, I know someone (Colby or Calvin?) on here was looking at sourcing a few. If I come across the thread again I'll post it. But search for 'connector' and I'm sure you'll find it.

Yes you can. Sumitomo Wiring Systems part number 6090-1149. Unfortunately they only sell in bags of 100 so a group buy would be a good idea.
