Stripped the Caliper :\

So, I was doing a brake change and throwing on braided steel brake lines today.... all was going great. One corner done, two corners done, three corners done, intalled the new brake pads on the last corner, started the line for the fluid feed, and began threading the line into the caliper. The thing went in so so smoothly... was getting tighter, tighter, and then boom.... completely loose. Thats when the word "****" (you fill in the blank with your favorite 4 letter word) came to mind.

So, now I am off to try to find a tap to fix the threads and repair the line since its a bit off now also. Something always has to go wrong right at the end
