If I'm following correctly based on all your comments etc.

"T bolt hose clamps" is what your looking for. 2.5inch is 64mm and a 10 pack on Amazon for 26$

Lmk if you can't find them and I'll get a link.

Oh, yes, very, very close! I see something about a nylon insert locknut. That sounds like a problem in an oven. Is that just one particular design or are all brands likely to have that?

So you'll see a "bolt" and "lock nut" the lock nut is the part with the nylon, it should be removable and swapped for a "jam nut" there may also be some with no nuts and just a threaded insert that will also be no problem.

Fantastic! I'll order a few of these. They seem to be thicker than I wanted, but they still might work fine; I won't know until I try them. Thanks for the idea.

When it comes in, take the nut off and swing by hardware store. I do not suggest galvanized nuts they can let off a smell when heated.

Hopefully I can find some SS ones, then. I'll have to bake them first to make sure there aren't other nasty substances hidden on them.
