I wanted a fan mount that would let the fan swing out of the way for breech loading without hanging from the wires. I cut a 3/4" piece of 4", the same as the chamber. Cut a fan size section out of it. Drilled the ends of the C slightly larger than a coathanger. Here I used two saftey pins and a piece of CH wire for the hinge because I couldn't find cotter pins in the garage. Squeeze the C and slide it in, it stays right where you put it.
