I used to make my own ribbon hookups for IDE drives, since this allowed me to use the exact length of cable that fitted best for a given case/motherboard/drive location combination - improving both access and cooling. You'll probably need to file it down to 52mm in order to have the cable fit to narrowest top part of the pillars, but this is not recommended as it will surely weaken the connector. Well checking again the ribbon pin1-to-pin40 distance is about 51mm (again you may correct me on this) It may be a "stupid idea" but have you tried filing the sides of the ribbon connectors to reduce the overall length? In my measurement, the 40-pin ribbon connector's length is about 55.5mm (correct me on this), while the pillar to pillar widest distance is 53mm so definitely a 40-pin ribbon connector's 55.5mm will not fit. I confirm this on the RPi3B+ version of the FLIRC case (just took mine from storage to verify pfletch101's concern)
