That's not bad, looks pretty solid. But I don't really want to pay $50 to attach.
I was actually thinking of doing something similar. It's not hard to "machine" aluminum in a drill press. Heck, you can probably even do it with a cordless drill if you're careful and patient.
I think what I am actually going to end up doing will be a $0 solutions using parts of the old hotends. I'll probably try it on Monday or Tuesday, and I'll post pics.

I see that some are getting the E3D v6 ready to install (nicely done btw) but The E3D V5 is longer, could this V5 be the answer?
Oh and please check your bearings on your extruder feeder

I've connected fans in seres before and it seems to work fine. The LED module may have a built in buck converter to drop the voltage to whatever they need.- I'll have to try to find more info about it. I have some small buck converters that I can use if necessary.
Here's a couple data sheets on the LED bars:

[sloanled.com]
It doesn't look like there's any power conversion built in. I don't know how they were running a 3 LED string from a 15V supply with no resistors and no buck converters. Maybe they didn't operate for long... Or maybe they were driving them with a PWM output that powered the extruder cooling fans.
