Is there a "it'll do" repair for a partially mangled thread. I've just got a bike where the pedal was put in diagonally (on the DS surprisingly). The inner 3-4 threads or intact but one side of the outer few threads is mangled. I can tighten it down and I think it will be fine, but is there anything I could add to give a bit of contact and fill the gap between the threaded section of the pedal axle and the mangled part of the crank thread. I could just add loads of threadlock, but is there something I could leave mostly harden off and then wind the pedal into?
