Well I finally plucked up the courage to begin soldering and i'm pleased to say... it worked!
It has ended up being one of those cables with a huge dollop of glue on the end instead of the plastic dock, i'm just glad it worked! And I know how to avoid this for next time...
I also ran into a problem when my markers for the cables came loose whilst braiding. I knew I had one ground, and one audio. So I soldered these onto the right pins and plugged it into the amp & zen, I then just touched the remaining wires to the remaining pins. My face lit up when the right channel kicked in!!!
I've now ordered some more parts, a better plug and thinner cable, i'll let you know how it goes.
Thanks again maaaaaang! Couldn't have done it without this tutorial
