cross threaded prop valve

So i let my dad do something on my car.. and he crossthreaded my $70 brakeline into my proportioning valve. I'm quite ticked cuz I have a school car show Tuesday. Right now it looks like this damn thing is gonna take another 2 weeks to fix. Hopefully i won't need another line. I'm going to shoot this thing with a shotgun if I go and work on it again today.

I can't find a replacement valve anywhere. Nor can i figure out what wacky **** thread it uses. All I know is that its 15 mm.

time for a new line or valve which one stripped? my prop is alum so that is what goes first.... good luck. loosen both ends of the line when starting the threads this helps get it straight before tightening.

its the valve, mine is aluminum too. I guess I'm off to the junkyards this week.

I've calmed down quite a bit as well

If I drive it to the school at 5 AM there might not be any traffic and i can go 10 mph all I want
