<VV> need diff

[lonwall@corvairunderground.com]

Welding of differential cases should be approached with caution. As they 
are cast iron your welder needs to be proficient in that type of 
witchcraft. Also if the finished case is, well, a little off, big 
mysterious problems can occur, like starter ring gear engagement trouble 
etc. You only need to have it poorly done once to negate any savings you 
might have seen as opposed to another undamaged case.
