I have a load of SATA to Molex power adaptor leads - so I then stuck on
of those on it so that I could disconnect it at the other end of the
lead at a later date if required.

Just looked and there are SATA power lead extenders so I may go with one
of those - although I have been pointed in 'uk.comp.homebuilt' to
connectors which combine a SATA data lead and power lead (much like the
adapters for external USB drives) with a Molex adapter.

This could be more rigid that just a power extension.
