J-Head Mounts and cooling?

$

I am having a bit of a problem with my jhead. I had to make an adapter for the head to put in a bowden compression fitting. However I am using a pla printed holder and the bowden threads into the pla. Well I tried to print with it and the pla became soft and let the fitting go causing the bowden tube to come loose. Fair enough, it looks like I will be making this out of metal.

Now my situation is that I have to remake the mount. (Disk + the compression c clip) however I am undecided if I need a fan on the head or not? I will be printing in abs, temps will be in the 220c-250c range.

Any advice besides throw the head out and buy (insert expensive head here)? I want to use what I have for the moment and once I get better I will be either making my own head or buying one.

thanks guys. If you need pics they are in my build blog.
