Unfortunately well outside my capability / beyond the tools I have / have access to! Suspect will have to stick with the crumpled up foil!

Repair (penny) washers each side, held by a nut & bolt? Use stainless if you worry about the zinc coming off hot galvanized stuff...

Coke/beer can cut with scissors and 2 nuts and bolts for lower section, superglue upper bit?

You can get high temp sealant for kettle BBQs - it's like weather stripping. This stuff.
You could fill most of that hole with that stuff. I used it for years on my Weber kettle and can confirm it is robust. There are high temp silicone grommets / plugs that you can find for BBQs as well that might work as well.

Cut a square piece of steel to put behind the holes and put two nuts and bolts through the bottom holes and drill a hole in the middle of the top hole and use a dry wall/plasterboard anchor for the top hole and then cut down excess boltage? Think they are called this: Spring Toggle Butterfly Bolts - all will involve a metal drill bit.
