Screw on caps can look neater but clamps are also fine.
If anything it is probably easier to crack the glass with a clamp.

Great start mate. 150mm is pretty standard for modules with 3" SG's.

Looking forward to more!

Looks like a good start.
What have you done to the copper?
Is that a washer soldered on top, what for?
