Knowing that I only spent $20 on an old, but good, Weber Platinum, I was seriously opposed to spending $140.00 on the Weber Rotisserie attachment. I really wanted the rotisserie, tho'.
I supervise the transportation department of a local school district. One of the mechanics recently cut the top and bottom thirds off of a 55 gallon drum to use as a temporary drain pan. He left the two structural ribs of the drum on the center section.
I asked if I could have the center. 30 minutes work with an angle grinder, some files and a crescent wrench I ended up with this:
I'll cut notches and attach the motor bracket this afternoon. Try it out tonight.

OK, just got back from Mesa Thrift store. They had a weber rotisserie attachment for $10. Notice I said HAD.
Sometime soon, I will have a rotisserie on my smoker or kettle.
