Actually, the RFI Shield was used from 83.5-91, it being the same part
number throughout the wasserboxer production.  I just made a boo-boo when
laying out the digifant distributor parts.  It's been corrected.

The RFI Shield was not used on AirCooleds 2.0 that the film or I am aware
of, but it may have been used in Europe - pure specualtion.
