The best redrives (I think, only personal point of view) for VW are this:

Reduction drives are a must for VW engines IF you...

Fly a draggy slow airplane...

want more torque...

Take off over 5,000 ft ASL. (a turbo also helps:-)

(Experts, please add more reasons:)

So, anyone using a belt redrive on their VW? I'm thinking of one on a Double Eagle, maybe even on my Volksplane to improve the climb out from my small field.

Have had some luck welding aluminum. Sometimes I can run a beautiful bead, then other times it looks like Fido's Butt.
