True, but it still seems risky to me. I would have used an ohmmeter or continuity tester to make sure that the transistors are truly isolated. The other problem is, over time, that setup is going to be exposed to vibration. Sooner or later, the transistors are going to be conducting across that heatsink. When that happens, it won't be good.

No I don't use any form of IM...
