By way of an update, I bought some dupont connectors, a crimping tool and made up a cable. I had the case lying around and the Pi already had the header soldered on.

Currently running a full emonScript install.

The improvement would be to use right-angle headers and [this case](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2270702) - it would be really neat then!
