Direct drive e3d - bowden?

Good day all
Almost finished with my He3d delta (Kossel clone). The delta came with a jhead hotend. I have 2 E3D V5 hotends doing nothing - problem is they are direct drive. Is there a way to use my e3d v5 on my delta. Maybe something like a end effector that holds the e3d and on top of the end effector a place to screw in the bowden coupling?

DO you have access to a working 3D printer?
I have a couple of adapters that i could easily change to suit ....but youd need to be able to print them

I have seen one on thingiverse for a e3d v6 which also have a extension so that your bowden coupling can be connected on the plastic - must maybe 1st try that one - will post a pic when I`m finished - if not I will come and cry for help again grinning smiley
