How to connect to a USB port with very limited space for connector ?

I would like to use the USB 2.0 port on a Raspberry Pi. Unfortunately the Pi is fixed in an enclosure with very limited space for the USB connector (they are so long !). There are no access pins to the USB on the Pi's board. It is a silly, but very frustrating problem.

I think I might be able to make up a short USB connector using a male USB A connector for wired connections (not SMD). Alternatively a USB cable with a 90 bend might work. Can anyone point me to a source of something appropriate.

How much space have you got? Pictures?

Edit, a quick google finds many right angled A adapters.

If your proficient at soldering you could solder the lead direct to the socket's pins on the board.

In the end I found a suitable right-angle connector, on Ali Express, which I believe will fit and be more robust than creating my own cable. The links may not last forever, but if anyone is trying something similar these products might be helpful:

I have had good success powering from the header but, for some reason, some people don't recommend that approach - even though my pi has be running a museum display for more than a year without problems.
