I guess I was more ignorant than intrepid. I dug right in and made all my cables. Soldered all the pins. Amazon has all these connectors too.
Are you supposed to solder the wire end and pin end after crimping with the fold over tabs and squeezing them?

Soldering is not required, and probably would not be if you purchased madeup cables. Which makes homade better IMO.
Also, I don't believe those you linked cannot be disassembled. It just takes a certain tool to do it. You are right that it is easy to get pins in the wrong body.
