Anyone had GOOD luck with a brake junction block from FCP Groton? 200 1986

I don't want to be hard on FCP....heck, i've spent thousands of dollars there and they've been great. However, I've now gotten two 240 brake junction blocks from them and the've both been so poorly threaded that they don't work for one of the lines (one for my lady's 240 and one for mine, just today). One port on both has just either stripped the threads or not held at all. So what gives? I am disappointed, to say the least. If anyone has had a good experience with these, i'm interested in knowing. Otherwise, I think FCP should be looking for another distributor for these things. It's rather frustrating when I thought that I had just cross-threaded the thing, then my dad drove 1/2 hour to get me another brake line, then it just cross-threaded too. Then I got smart on the dumb block. Anyways, I'm interested in people's comments. Welp, tata for now. Oh, I have discovered that you can just put the internals from the new one into the old block and it works rather well.....one little bonus discovery.
