Try this.   Might want to check the measurements.   Do you need one for charcoal or gas?

Weber doesn't sell the spit rod separately.

Some people look for something cheap (any brand) and long enough, or a bit longer, locally (like a used one on FB, craigslist, offerup, letgo, whatever, & then use a grinder (or something) to create a groove in the shaft at the appropriate spots.  Bonus is you often get a spare motor.

If you do that, you might be lucky enough to stumble across a cheap one (used or or new) (and likely non-Weber) that still has a box says it has SS shaft & forks. 

I didn't need one, but bought one because it was stainless & had a thicker heavy duty octagonal shaft that was machined to a square where it goes into the motor.  Was able to see the length on the box & instead of using a grove, it had one of those round clamp sort of things you can put anywhere on the shaft that serves the same purpose as a groove.
regards,
Hal

@Mr.CPHo sent me a spit from a genesis and I ground a grove into it. I also had another member here agent me a char-broil brand one. It is chrome plated, so not as good of quality as the stainless weber brand. I have seen a few genesis rotis come up for sale but they have been a little further away than I wanted to drive. Let me pop out a tape measure and I will let you know the shaft size and stuff
