Re the bodge. If you need to do that, you MIGHT pull it off with slack tightening, but remember most pedals etc are made of far harder material than Al cranks, and thus will rip the buggery out of threads at the drop of a hat. Sort of think you might do to get you down to the LBS to find a new crank, but no more.
Aaaah - the laminated book of dreams....
