Modified= half a mm too big so I filed it down a bit. It fit great after that. Will update if I have problems, if no word from me than it worked great, is still working, or I bought new boots!

Chain ring bolts are notorious for loosening on bikes, and the alu ones shear/strip pretty easily. One concern i would have about using this as a permanent fix would be that the holes molded into the plastic might be larger diameter than the bolt/nut, seems you could get some lateral slop in the cuff.
