RE: Wanted: HP-IL cables (UK)
I think the contacts themselves are fine - I got them from Martin. The final printed dimensions of the shells have caused a few problems with loose or tight fit. And there is a bit of judgement involved in finalising the depth of the contacts into the shells when glueing them in. I'm not sure I got that absolutely right, so may have issues there.
I might experiment with contacts on the end of wires without shells.

I probably made a rod for my own back though. I wanted my pil-box to look neat so printeda chassis connector pair as well, instead of cutting up a cable and soldering the two ends in, dangling. that adds a whole series of Jeremy-made connectors inline!

And thanks for the hint re pulse transformers - that sounds a wise upgrade.
