Found one of the tabs that hold the motor broken off. I have tried JB weld twice:
Southlake, TX and Cowhouse Creek - King, TX. 2 Large, 1 Small and a lot of Eggcessories.

That's a bummer and obviously was beyond what JB Weld is capable of doing. Unless you can get Joetisserie to send or sell you a replacement you need to find somebody or repair shop who can weld the pieces back together.Re-gasketing the USA one yard at a time

Bend a piece of metal 90 degrees and bolt or epoxy it to the bottom side of the rotisserie.

If KJ can't fix you up you can buy roti motor mount brackets for a few bucks that you can bolt onto the KJ roti - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01HBALMXK/ref=sspa_dk_detail_1?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B01HBALMXK&pd_rd_w=Trv9h&pf_rd_p=8a8f3917-7900-4ce8-ad90-adf0d53c0985&pd_rd_wg=p9BdO&pf_rd_r=SZGMD68ZAG2GSBKNNGEN&pd_rd_r=fc34927a-8f9a-11e9-b9cc-f314601f96fe

Thank you, I ordered that part to see if I can make it work. Any idea how to bolt to Cast Iron, afraid it would crack if I tried to drill a hole. @RRP I will see if I can find a local shop as well. I asked Tom at CGS, with all his tools, but he said no. :(Southlake, TX and Cowhouse Creek - King, TX. 2 Large, 1 Small and a lot of Eggcessories.

I’d say any local machine shop would be able to fix that up quick. Just slip the welder a 20 and you’ll be good as new

Aluminum is easy to drill.I agree with @CincyEgg tho - you can probably find a local welder that has experience with aluminum to fix that and avoid having to do any drilling/fabbing yourself if you don't really have any tools.“Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.” ― Philip K.

@HeavyG You are correct, aluminum casting. It was black, what do I know! LOL. I reached out to a local welder...Southlake, TX and Cowhouse Creek - King, TX. 2 Large, 1 Small and a lot of Eggcessories.

The D-handle on my 80+ year old B&D 1/2" drill broke and I took it to a local radiator repair shop and they welded it for me for $10.

@RRP Thank you! I might be able to do that!Southlake, TX and Cowhouse Creek - King, TX. 2 Large, 1 Small and a lot of Eggcessories.

@RRP I found a local shop. Minimum $50.00 cash charge. Fixed it in less than 15 minutes. It was worth it to me. Thank you for providing advise.RRP said:The D-handle on my 80+ year old B&D 1/2" drill broke and I took it to a local radiator repair shop and they welded it for me for $10.
I contacted Kamodo Joe, their response was no warranty coverage after one year and no replacement parts available...
