Custom RF cables? HFL connector?

Ok, I am running into brick walls, and Motorola is being a d1ck right now about getting one.
I need a HFL to SMA bulkhead cable for the MW810 GPS, but Motorola is considering this $10 cable can only be replaced at flat rate prices (ie $500). I can't seem to find anyone on the internet that does custom cables that will do a Hirose HFL connector.
Anyone have leads, or can even make one?

Used them before to make up custom cables to go from a aftermarket wifi card to a sma bulkhead for my old CF-28's

Can you buy one of these cables, then cut to length and put your own SMA bulkhead one end?

To be on the safe side, looking at 10-12inch. Trimble iQ GPS in the MW810 to the rear bulkhead. The cable needs to make a few turns to reach.
