HELP!!! Thread and pitch on brake lines..

[Huh]

Here is my story:

I am doing a DE event on Saturday and had my inspection done last Saturday. I passed everything but brakes. OK no big deal right? I bought my car with Hawk pads front and back included, great. I started changing my brakes and everything goes well until I get to the driver-side rear. I was told when I bought the car that the rear had binded some so I probably should change out the rear caliper. Included in the sale was a new rebuilt caliper, again great. So I decide to start taking off the old caliper which was fairly easy except the brake line. I got the brake line off and I quickly go to the new caliper. I begin screwing in the line so I turn and turn and turn and turn...........you get the point. I noticed that the line would not screw in the caliper. I decide to cap off the line and check the threads in the caliper. The beginning part looked a bit screwed up but you know how sometimes looks can be deceiving. I tried to screw in an old line I saved and I noticed that the threads on the brake line were a bit stripped. I still was able to screw the old caliper in. Anyway I put my old caliper back on and tried to bleed the brakes. The bleeder is completely weathered and I could not get it to budge and finally it just broke. Now I don't have a caliper unless I can clean up the threads on the rebuilt one and that is why I need the pitch and thread. Can anything else go wrong before my first event?

Sorry so long....

When I work with try to rework the threads if I mess with it too much could it end up leaking?

[Huh]

If necessary can you helicoil a brake caliper without it leaking?

i had a similar thing happen to me, replace it... doing 125 on the track and realizing the caliper leaked puts you, but more importantly possibly others in danger...

same argument goes for helicoil... is it worth the risk or piece of mind?
