JB Weld is right up there with WD-40, silicone, vulcanizing tape, heat shrink, stainless steel and vice grips. These are some of my favourite things.
Does JB Weld conduct electricity?

Can't speak about JB weld for replacing threads, but I once used it for
what I was told was an impossible radiator repair (can't fix it, you
need a new one), and it worked beautifully.
I had a radiator on a 1984 Ford Bronco II (junker - but then weren't
they all junk?) that sprung a leak on one of the tubes from the top tank
to the bottom tank. At the time I didn't have the money to buy a radiator.
I pushed the fins out of the way with pliers, and cleaned the area up
with a wire brush first, then fine sandpaper. I also "squeezed" the
offending leaky tube together with the pliers.
Then I mixed up a wad of the JB, and just did a "temporary" patch with
it; wrapping it around the front side leaky tube, on the outside of the
tube. Picture putting a wad of bubble gum on one side of a flattened
toilet paper tube, at the crease, about an inch top to bottom, and maybe
a quarter inch around the edge. When I showed it to a mechanic, he said
it should never have held.......
What was leaking a steady stream (i.e. a kid's toy squirt gun size
stream or slightly larger) dried up completely, once the JB hardened.
I never did change the radiator. I sold the vehicle, patched radiator
and all, about a year later.
FWIW.

Hey, just wanted to let ya'll know about this one:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=300075599044&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&ih=020
It's not mine, it belongs to my best friend. He's been good to her,
given her lots of upgrades:
heated grips
EBC oversized front rotor
s.s. brake line
moose bark busters
radiator guard
flashing led brake light
progressive fork springs
t mod
rear brake pedal bracket
rear brake cylinder guard
She's got less than 6000 miles, mostly street - but enough off road to
give her some character.
My buddy's moving from VT to Florida to start motorcycle mechanics
school, and he needs to sell the KLR to cover tuition.
He'll be trailering down from VT to Orlando in February, and he's
willing to deliver for 200 bucks as long as you're not too far from
his route down.
Thanks - feel free to email me if you have any questions...
