Improved rotisserie motor deer deterrent support arm

I decided to upgrade the rotisserie motor deer deterrent support arm because buying a set of hex keys just for the 5/16th size wrench was going to get out of hand since I planned on building at least 4 deterrents.

The above support arm is cut from a longer, threaded piece that can be found at most hardware stores for about 3 dollars. I was able to make 4 arms with a bit left over.

I used a small table vise to hold one end firmly while I slowly bent it to the shape you see in the picture. You'll need a hack saw or equivilant to cut each piece to the size you want and make sure to do the bending first.

Grinding off just a bit where the piece matches up with the motor holder will help you be able to force the two together. You might want to add some super glue or epoxy if the connection is even a little bit loose. I left the orignial hex key in place on the prototype unit, but didn't use adhesive for any of the other 3 units.
