many years ago I cross threaded a brake pipe into an aluminium slave cylinder on a reliant front brake, the thread stripped so I stuck it in with "plastic padding" so I could drive the couple of miles to buy a new one, however after testing it I decided it was so good I'd do it when I had more time and forgot all about it.
Must have been 6 months later coming up to traffic lights I had to brake extra hard and the joint failed, I managed to stop well over the line with the hand brake but the outcome could have been a lot worse?
