Actually, how reliable a welded diff can be is a function of the welder. I
had a welded diff pop a weld.. Which then took out the ring gear on my
Spitfire.
On an autocross car it took a few events to be a problem. Probably not much
fun on the track speed.

Hey Ron,
IMHO, you should go with a welded up stock dif. You'll love it. You can
put the power down anywhere you like!!

I have run my TR-4A (solid axle) in vintage racing for three years with
the stock differential with no problems until it lock - unlocked - and then
broke completely at Sears Point. I am down to two choices. Another stock
one since I like the way the car handled with the stock one or a Detroit
locker which I understand works well if you are fairly smooth get your
breaking done and then accelerate out of the turn without much on and off
the gas.
Any thoughts. Reliability?? Handling??
Thanks,
