the repairs you cited sound better than some of mine.

i built my car from a repairable "wreck" and bought parts cheap cause they were on damaged cars at the junkyard. my header panel on my crx was broken and i pop-riveted on tabs to fasten to the car and to reinforce a cracked section.

no advantage but not per the letter of the law. sorry if anyone is offended.

i will stop just short of telling you to do the same but i will never protest you or anyone else for this.

i typically run great lakes division events car #91 ITB (was A before). if anyone wants to see the repairs, they are welcome. i am not trying to hide anything. stop by and i'll open the hood anytime unless i am suiting up to go on track.

as long as nothing is going to fall off the car and cause an issue, i am good with what you described.
