ST4 Port Mod for HEQ5 Non-Pro

heyy, ive recently perchased a heq5 mount which doesnt have an autoguiding port. so ive asked around at the HEQ5 mount technical support group on yahoo, apparently it was a simple soldering of a few wires here and there... it seems simple enough to do with the right tools... my question is where do i get the st4 port and other bits and bobs from? also if you know a better way or a detailed way of doing this.. can you post it here so i can see if i can actually do it

cheers,
Tony
