My well-adjusted friend who always seems to have a smile on
his face, money in his pocket and plenty of free time would
snug the fitting up with Vice-Grips and move on.
OTOH, I would hunt down new fittings, buy the ISO/DIN flaring
tool, spend an inordinate amount of time replacing the fitting
in a manner that made the new one look OEM - and then stay
up late to post about it all.
