Just replying to my own post to add info:
Need to get:
Stainless rod for joining rails / extrusions
SS 5mm connectors and nuts
Silicone tubing
Connections for original motor and encoder supplied by Farmbot
LDO-42STH47-1684BC
Configuration Bipolar (4 coil leads) A Black Green C (A-?) B Red D (B-?) Blue
However, the cables supplied by farmbot have the following colours
Yellow White Red Black
My Stepper motor (17HS8402BEC) details:
Configuration Bipolar (4 coil leads) A+ Black A- Green B+ Red B- Blue
So I will try using the following wiring for the motor coils:
Farmbot Motor cable to my motors My motor Black to farmbot cable Black, My motor Green to farmbot cable Red, My motor Blue to farmbot cable White, My motor Red to farmbot cable Yellow.
Encoder on my motors
Connections for my motor (17HS8402BEC):

Red = VCC (+5V) Black = GND White = A Green = B Yellow = Z
I will try connections to A+ and B+ on the encoders that I have. I will ignore the - lines and the missing Z line.
So…
