Looks wobbly to me.
The rat cage is not necessary when the mount already has altitude and azimuth adjustments, and only weakens the overall structure. I'd remove it. The cage is a relic from the past when EQ mounts had either none, or a most rudimentary adjustment in altitude.
A better solution is a single flat plate welded to the top of a large pipe. If the mount requires a single central bolt, the solution to that is to cut one or two holes in the side of the pipe sufficient to get a socket in there to hold the head of the bolt or nut (depending on mount).
