Re: Thread fix

For sealing a gasket is the answer.

The threads don’t look too bad in the pic. Are you sure you’re dealing with original parts? Distorting the nut might well work, but is a little scary.

Another approach could be to use some thin shim stock between the make and female threads. Possibly a wrap of a few layers of aluminum foil, or strips of brass shim stock at 180 deg.
