Default Interior cage questions

Ive got a question on the rules for the interior cage, i just made this one after reading them and didn't catch it says brazed, welded, or soldered. I used threaded rod for the middle bar section to connect the 4 top bars, and shoegooed the back r screws into the tube to hold everything together. Would this still count? Or do i need to switch to brass so i can solder it?

When this rule was written, we wanted to get rid of the guys making interior cages out of pieces of wire that were gluing and taping them together. We may have to add "mechanically fastened together" as an acceptable way since that's how some cages are built. We will discuss.

Added more bars to make it look more scale. Also re did the front section. Got rid of the button head screws and used threaded incerts for the main structure to hold together. Then jb welded all the joints. The added joints that are shown without jb weld now have it.

Can you add jb weld or maybe shoe goo to the options seeing how it pretty much does the same thing as welding, soldering, or brazing?

I also plan on painting the whole cage after jb weld is dry to look more scale.
