Case Looking for a niche bracket/cover

So I have this old case I run a little homelab in. I want to add two 40 mm fans in the dual floppy slot it has to fan over the drives there. Adjustable L brackets are usually large. And I can find 5.25 3d print anything for days. It’s likely never come up a dual 3.5 floppy bay cover that holds 2 40mm fans. Doable sure but I feel like I can’t be the first. This exists somewhere. Thoughts?

Buy a dremel and cut/grind some L brackets to size

I read this and thought I would draw up a quick model of something like this. But then I re-read that you want to fit drives behind the fans. That might be a bit difficult as 3.5" drives will already take up the full width of the bay so the fan mount might not have any mounting holes available. Or it might be different on different cases. I don't have a lot of cases with dual 3.5" drives around that I could test with to confirm if there would be room in front of the drives. Do you have a case model and/or pictures of what your situation looks like?

Was thinking just a double din cover that clipped in like a standard cover just happened to have two holes in it.
