Part of the "quality" issue is in the details. I once had a trans bell housing repaired by a local machine shop. The welder was apparently quite talented (judging by the work he die to repair a corner that cracked off). He made a point of telling me in no uncertain terms how impressed he was with the quality of the alloy that was used (something that a good welder would notice). Part of Alfa's reputation was built on their expertise in the foundry, y'know.
