  just in case anyone is interested I purchased a WEH001602A-Y from rapidonline.com
  i bought a pin header off ebay and soldered it on to the display plugged it in
  and it worked. set me back 25 gbp in total and i didnt have to cut away at anything.
  it just fitted straight in as the dimensions are exactly the same.
  left pin 3 disconnected and desoldered the old backlight connecter and inverter.
  the new display has 16 pins but you just leave 15-16 disconnected.
  I hope this helps anyone wanting to upgrade their screen.
  Thanks to everyone who supplied info before hand.

  Hey there... I ordered one of these, should be with me tomorrow.

  You say you "left pin 3 disconnected", then you go on to say you "just leave 15-16 disconnected". Can you confirm which pins should not be connected on the new display?

  Also, I know where the inverter is, I take it I just disconnect it and that is it done? Do I have to do this before testing the new display?

  I'm not sure where the backlight connector is though, and what to desolder?

  Thanks!

It is enough to stop the header fitting snug to the Emax board, but it is under 1mm of a difference, and there is certainly that much wiggle room between the display and the front of the Emax rack, so no problems there!
