I've been meaning to clean out the fuel tank strainer for sometime now.
Here's how it looked
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.

The spare wheel carrier needed some attention too. For it's age it's in good shape really. The rubberised coating is incredibly tough but like underseal once the water gets it starts to eat away the steel unseen.
After grit blasting, rust treatment, a spot of welding and two coats of smooth Hammerite. Plenty of holes drilled to stop water getting trapped.
