All, I have an old steel crankarm, drive side, with stripped pedal threads - it's a German made, two piece crank with a cottered left arm and on a cheap bike. I'm thinking of using JB Weld to permanently attach a new pedal. The threads on the pedal side are stripped, the frameside threads are OK. The JB Weld would provide additional area to support the pedal. The intention is to simply get this bike on the road cheaply, realizing that the crank/pedal will no longer be serviceable without tossing the crank pedal assembly.

I realize the correct solution is to replace the crank, but it just can't happen on the budget I have for this.

So what is your verdict; is this a reasonable fix?
