if it weren't for the jb weld, those threads would fail. they're not even threads. they're just angled lines. did you oblong the hole to make the tap thread? I don't even know how you did that. As a machinist I've had my fair share of **** ups, but I've never done that, much less on purpose.

EDIT: Also, what you can't see is that before I JB'd it, I scratched the aluminum up very well around the fitting, and scratched the anodized **** off the fitting too. So it was well prepped.
