Does anyone have a lead on where I can source the ribbon cable clips for the hard drive ribbon cable on the motherboard? Managed to melt one taking the 30-pin port off with hot air!

I would search eBay for parts pods, and just rip it off one of those.

(This one) I've started doing that, but I find myself buying one thats 'broken' plugging it into firewire, or replace the battery, harddrive or something else simple, and discovering its fine! Can't bring myself to cannibalize a working ipod. I also want a few and its too expensive to keep buying a $30+ ipod just for the tiny connector

Best bet is to source the whole zif connector itself from a parts maker. I think this is 35 point.. not sure though.

Managed to track down the producer and ended up with a link to this, which is the exact part, in case anyone else has the same issue: https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/hirose-electric-co-ltd/FH26W-35S-0-3SHW-60/5132501?s=N4IgTCBcDaIGIAkwDYDqBaAzAVgMroAYA6TXBVACmQIEoQBdAXyA
Just added to one that needed and we're back in business
