Hello,
Sorry for the dely in replying back but Just want to say thank you to every=
one for your replies, help and advice.

So, i finally made a decision and that was to go with the Primo EM172 capsu=
les - they arrived this morning and are now all soldered up!!!
The soldering of the ground wire was a bit tricky as it is twice as thick a=
nd the hot wire, i also made a massive school boy error by not double check=
ing everything first which resulted in me threading the metal housing i was=
 intending to sit the capsules in onto  the cable the wrong way round!(what=
 an idiot!) i only noticed this after everything was soldered and i was una=
ble to slide it off due to a lip. Not wanting to face desoldering and resol=
dering i spent the next hour+ slowly nibbling away at the metal housing wit=
h some tin snips, four blisters later and the housings were cut free. New h=
ousing was required, luckily the lid of a marker pen i had was exactly the =
right size to snugly slip over the capsules, i then filled the hollow tube =
with rubber silicon and slid a rubber stopper down the cable to plug the ba=
ck side.
Not the best quality picture but to give you a look at the end result:  htt=
