W123 300D Oil Cooler - thread issue

[Diesel911]

Not a real good pic of what I want to show. When I stripped my upper Nipple on the Oil Cooler I lost the front 3 threads. That meant there was still some threads left.
(This is before I read about the Factory Autohrized Repair in our Forum.)

I degreased the Nipple and Hose Nut with Brake Cleaner coated the Threads with JB Weld and and screwed it back onto the Oil Cooler and it has been there since Sep, 2007 with no problems.

you have to look at the top of the Photo to see where the JB Weld oozed out.

(Since that time I have bought the Tap, Drill and Fittings and someday will do the correct repair.)
