PD Board Legality Question

So one of our students broke the screw terminal thing on the Negative side of the PD board yesterday where it connects to the battery. There is only a small amount of thread remaining. (not enough to mount the ring connector and nut at the same time. So we welded to nuts together to create a threaded sleeve, which we can attach to the remaining nub. We then screw in a short bolt to the top of this sleeve to hold the ring connector from the battery. My question is: Will this pass inspection? Ideally we dont want to spend ~$200 on a new PD board.
