Today I had to replace the DFI module in my VN. I always ask my mechanic to leave any parts he replaces aside for me to examine. What I saw intrigued me When new, DFI modules have a "filling"that resembles a very hard plastic. This one had been fried so badly, that it looked more like rubber, and parts of it underneath that chewy rubber surface had "melted" into sand granules. On examining it, I decided to dig the entire contents out of the casing. What I had left was a die cast shell. I did some measurements and realisd that this was about the right height for a building on an HO scale layout. I cut it into three pieces; one forming a public dunny in a park, one piece excess, and one the warehouse for either a wrecking yard or a Holden dealership (haven't decided yet) The latter is painted Holden Rocket Red, as in the engine colour, and will send photos to whoever's interested once I'm finished.
