Is there a way to make fan mounts for the Hyper 212 Evo?

The fan on my Evo died so I bought two replacement fans to run a push/pull on the CPU. Problem is now I need new fan mounts to put on the fans so I can actually put them on the cooler. But CM wants $10 for an entire kit that includes the fan mounts, and I'll need to get two of them. and shipping is $10! So I'm looking at $30 just for two fan mounts. That's crazy to me! http://www.cmstore-usa.com/hyper-212-plus-evo-accessories-kit/?_ga=2.172516707.1389115831.1509640872-562781916.1509640872

They won't sell just the fan mounts themselves, I tried asking them.

Is there anything I can use or make myself or something cheaper I could buy that would work?

Thanks for any help.

Push/pull on a 212 EVO doesn't really gain much performance vs a single fan.

If *I* needed one, I'd design and then print one out on my 3D printer.
But that is actually a PITA to get it exactly correct. Far more PITA than an extra 2-3C temp difference.

Zip Ties are a PC builders best friend.
I would put 2 or 3 into a long loop that will compress the 4 corners of the push-pull fans.
