Why not just do it the easy - and proper - way, ie as in the original

Thanks everyone for the comments. Will go with the F-type plugs and
connector. Whilst the connection will be in the dry I may well
heat-shrink it too for completeness.

Ordinary heat shrink isn't waterproof. You need glue lined for that.

You can improve the performance in that respect a bit if you shave off
some shards of glue stick and poke em up into the sleeving each end
before you heat it. that then fills and consolidates it at the end and
seals it to the wires.
