Sweet! Good to know
And yeah I wasn't about to try and install anything in that shell before first trying to get the threads in good shape.
The frame was free so I don't mind spending a bit of money on a proper chase & face. It's definitely still worth it when you compare the cost of having the job done to the value of the frame itself.

I totally disagree with the previous poster. DO NOT cram a plastic BB in there without fixing the cross threaded damage to the threads. It is likely to try to go in cross threaded like the previously improperly installed BB. For that matter in this case I would try to use a BB with metal threads.
