I Forge Iron

Need help mounting blower

I am having some trouble figuring out a way to mount my blower up to my forge. I've been in contact with another member who has helped a ton, just looking at all options -- I dont have the luxury of an operable welder at the moment, nor the skill, and dont have an operable forge (yet!). I'm looking for something I can easily find at a hardware store so I can get this thing up and running asap. I'm going to use standard semi rigid 3" duct for the connects.

Attached are pictures of the blower and arm I have for my forge. I have the arm bolted to the forge already but need a way to mount the blower itself to either the arm (preferred) or a seperate mount. The blower doesnt have any brackets on it like some of them that Ive seen. I'm not sure how to mount it up, all suggestions are appreciated.

I suggested that if he wanted to use the arm to fasten a short section of large Angle iron to it . cut a hole in it that will fit the pipe and use the floor flange bolts to hold it in place---I would probably remove the floor flange and drill the holes for the mounting bolts in the angle and then re-install the floor flange with the angle between it and the blower---may need longer bolts but that is a minor issue to solve.   (Am I the only fellow that picks up any good looking bolts and nuts when trolling the scrapyard?  Sometimes someone will clean out a garage and dump a bunch of new unused ones, usually in a can, onto the pile.)
