You may not have to. How much mounting space do you have?

If there is room, you can insert some sort of gobo sized disc in the rotator -
then fasten one end of a radio control cable to the center of the disc. The
other end of the cable fastens to the object being rotated. The gobo retaining
clips should be strong enough to keep the disc from slipping in the rotator.

The cables are meant for push-pull, but work in rotation mode if the bends are
not too great.
