They asked me the same thing, and said they needed to chop 1mm from the fingers. I told them to do it. I got mine in and everything seems just fine. Not sure what the problem was.

They bevelled mine with no issues.
Total guess here, it is coming up to Chinese New Year, meaning they'll be on filler staff. They also sub contract work out at times meaning the manufacturer may not have as capable machinery to do the bevelling.
I wouldn't worry about it, it's not essential.

So I tried a few different options regarding the cabling of the extension.
The first thing I tried was bundling the cables together and using braided sleeving but the problem using that method was the cable was too rigid.
I ended up settling on what you see in the attached images, I cut the IDE into strips of 3 wires and wrapped it in fabric tape.
This method is quick, neat and easy and makes for a very flexible extension.

Exciting news fellas.
I've been liasing with an Aliexpress supplier whom specialises in computer cables. I've had them custom make the ATX cables we need for these jamma extenders. 24 pin male to male with 18awg braided wire, in your choice of colour! I've had them make it a standard stock item so anyone can order.

@Frank_fjs Just a suggestion while you're at it, maybe you could make the power traces just a bit wider and move the vias away from the edge connector contacts?
