Just need to get some suitable bolts to fix it back together and I'll have a genuine spare.

When I measured them, I thought it might have been a case of 'lost in translation' when they were copying them, where someone measured to the end of the original cable, and the other person took that as meaning to the end of the connector. How they've managed to lob off another 1.5" is puzzling.
Saw that photo after I posted. I must disassemble mine sometime to see what happened, but might try and find replacement bolts first.

Hmmm, where there's a gap in the market (or in the length of the cable), let's come up with a solution.
