Titan Aero 40mm to 60mm fan QR mount

Unfortunately, E3D designed the Aero in a way that requires removal of the fan to disassemble it.  They also chose to use self tapping screws to mount the 40mm fan, rather than properly tapping a hole for some machine screws.  That is fine if there are no problems, but my Titan Aero has been having filament jamming problems frequently, and they often require disassembly to get the broken filament out.  So I was looking for a way to make it quicker to disassemble, and also save the integrity of the holes that are used for mounting the fan.  Additionally I wanted to upgrade my fan since I feel that the 40mm fan and the chunky heatsink are not sufficient to keep the block of aluminum from heating too much in the already warm environment of my garage.  

This is my solution (currently).  The mount will accept a 60mm fan which can easily be removed by sliding it off the bracket that attaches to the Aero heatsink in place of the 40mm fan.  There is a catch on the mount that is intended to be placed, so the 60mm fan will not slide off due to gravity (it could go on wrong, but should be obvious which way is correct).  When the 60mm fan with it's mount are removed, the bracket will allow me to access the screw that was placed under the 40mm fan, and will not require removal of the self tapping screws that mount the bracket.

It's printing now, and I already see some areas for improvement, but hopefully it will help.

Note - the models of the 60mm fan and Titan Aero are not mine, they are from the following sources:
