You are absolutely right. This probably would not involve an inspection unless the panel was changed. My initial response, some 30-odd posts ago, was simply to let Marc know that my jurisdiction, when it is brought to our attention, does not allow covering up the damaged bus fingers.
We don't go looking over the shoulders of the service Sparky's. If they come in for a permit, fine. We now know about it. About the only other time we would catch it is in case of a fire. When the fire department is called out and pulls a meter, an inspector has to go out and verify it is safe before the the meter can be re-installed.
