The part uses a zip tie around the outside to hold it on the motor and keep anything from pulling on the wires, and comes complete with vent ports.

Here is the part file in in stl form

Hope it helps!

Out of curiosity, how are you actually connecting the wires to the motors? The connectors we use look like they would be too long for this to work.

EDIT:

Nevermind, I'm blind...

Could you post a picture of how you have these attached anyways? I'm still curious about how you've soldered the wires to the motors.
