Yeah, if I don't have a heatsink I can hack, I usually look around for something that will work. Sometimes, computer liquidation stores will have P2 heatsinks which usually cut up kinda nice and are fairly low-profile. Also, electronics surplus places usually have sinks as well.

Cooling the motor would be better done by using a heatsink that goes on the can part. Fairly cheap clip-on styles can be found on eBay.
