There was a horrible gelatinous substance binding all the junk together. A quick scrub over with brake cleaner and a toothbrush soon had it clean. If I'd have had more time I'd have stuck it in the ultrasonic cleaner.

Here's the spare height corrector I cleaned up at the weekend, 45 minutes in the heated ultrasonic cleaner with detergent.

After grit blasting, rust treatment, a spot of welding and two coats of smooth Hammerite. Plenty of holes drilled to stop water getting trapped.
