Stripped threads in the ABS block.

I must have cross threaded a brake line going into the antilock brake block. Now it spins instead of tightening near the bottom. Is there a part that can help me connect this? I'm going to try taping the threads but even if that works I'm worried about doing something like that to an important system as brakes. Should I just start shopping junkyards?

Ah, locktite may be a very good answer here. I'll see how that works tomorrow.

smcnealy - I know this is a really old post, but how did you end up fixing the problem? I've managed to cross-thread the lines on my abs block and am currently debating on how to fix it.
