<VV> Welded vs. Bolted flywheels

[Geoffrey A Johnson]

I welded the one that is now in my sisters corsa.    Never had a problem, 
been out several times for engine swaps etc... and it has not showed any 
problems.
I have since used bolted, but this one was very low mileage original with 
rivets 
that were still tight.

> Does anyone out there have any first hand experience with welded flywheels. I have one I've been using for 22yrs. with no problems. It has been used with 2 "performance" engines and spent ten years in "Rampy" where it was used and abused, and given ample opportunity to fail. After all this time, no cracks, no warpage, no alien abduction. Is there really a problem with welded flywheels, or is this a myth propagated by the "flywheel bolters"
