I have these, which have damaged threads.
Questions:
Is it worth fixing the threads, given that new ones are £15.99 + p+p and I value my labour as a mechanic at a luxurious £10ph.
If yes, what's the best way to make them screw-innable? It's for a beater build, but I don't want to risk damaging the BB shell because eventually the frame might form the centrepiece of a Nice Bike one day. I was going to try and grind them into some kind of order with a fine Dremel disc...
PS. I didn't cause any of that damage.
